And those are wonderful things to experience. Our church buildings and our worship are helpful ways for the Holy Spirit to be recognized and received. The danger is in worshiping the building or the worship style itself. There are churches where I don't feel comfortable and where the worship services are either too inhibited or too wild. We have a variety of churches or worship centers, Bible studies and mission experiences.
Some people are more engaged by the form of one worship style over another.
I celebrate the differences within the United Methodist Church and the different presentations of the Spirit of Christ. It really makes it possible to invite more people in to experience the presence of Christ. I hope you can find a United Methodist Church where you can grow in your understanding of God. You will then have the opportunity to join others through the mission and ministry of that congregation. John L. Hopkins has been bishop of the Minnesota Annual Conference since 1996.
