Worship should be one avenue for God’s Spirit to generate a new unity and communion. Blending or weaving varied music and rites is preferred to occasional services designed for one pattern.

Don’t just have spirituals on race relations Sunday or when you have an African-American preacher as a guest. Repetition and interaction are necessary for authentic reformation.
