Rich Kirkpatrick continues his Worship Mythbusters series of posts with MYTH: Worship leading is not performing.
Many in our churches like to use the word “performance� and make it another projectile at the worship team. They enjoy the fact that they can say a worship leader should not be performing, but worshiping as he leads as if the two are mutually exclusive. It means that his preparation is devalued and the attempt at beauty and form are discouraged. Worship expression or liturgy to many is simply a means, not and end. Really, it is an act to be performed.
