Hebrew worship styles have included:
  • Tabernacle/Temple Worship (characterized by reverently seeking Almighty God in the Presence of God in the midst of a “Holy of Holies”)
  • Synagogue worship (characterized by no “Holy of Holies” but rather by Scripture reading, sermons)
IMHO, Catholic worship combines elements of both styles:
  • The liturgy of the Word continues the pattern of Scripture reading and sermons
  • The liturgy of the Eucharist continues the pattern of seeking God reverently in the Presence of God in the midst of a “Holy of Holies” (The tabernacle).
IMHO, non-Catholic worship by the “Separated brethren” continues the pattern of synagogue worship but is missing valuable elements that include: the Presence of God and sacred space.
