Get on the Path - from Bishop Sherer-Simpson

This is a video message from Bishop Ann Sherer-Simpson, resident bishop of our Nebraska Annual Conference.  She's speaking of worship as one of the formative elements of the Christian faith.  Others might use the phrase "constitutive practice," meaning that communal worship of God is what makes us Christian (and likewise, that if we don't regularly participate in communal worship, we are almost Christian).





The Bishop's point is that worship is vitally important in the lives of those following Christ together through the church. The Annual Conference leadership has started tracking local church worship attendance regularly during the last few months. Part of this seems very institutional, yet the Bishop and the Council of Bishops is correct that worship attendance is a key indicator for Christian healthiness. This next video from the Bishop discusses this in more depth.
