Abstract
Modern culture is sick with secularism resulting in a growing recognition
permeating our culture that all life is at root spiritual. Whilst not necessarily
recognised in Christian terms, there is a growing awareness and craving for
spirituality. People are turning ro exotic cultures and esoteric practices in search of
intimacy - a desire to experience human love and trust, meaning and purpose; and
transcendence - recognition of the divine. Through developing a theology of
spirituality and worship chis article attempts to define a practical theological theory
for worship and spirituality. Worship and spirituality are incarnational engaged
lifestyles that give voice to the nature, character and will of God and are reflected in
the Christian's human activities of adoracion to God and action in the world. This
incarnational engaged approach, expressed in adoration and action, provides
intimacy and access to the transcendent, and replaces the religiosi(y and
secularisation in the Church with a message of love and hope.
