I can't believe I am reading this in "The Younger Evangelicals" by Robert Webber right after Scott and I dialogued about it. He saw four fold worship being practiced by a ancient future community while on sabattical.
Webber states that the four fold worship interprets worship to be an unfolding of the narrative of God's story and is expressed in four movements.
First, the people gather. This is the theological act in which the church is actualized and brought into being. Second, the church hears the story of God in Scripture readings, the Psalms, and the sermon. Third, the churhc responds with praise and thanksgiving at the table, enacting God's redeeming story with bread and wine. Finally, the community of God goes forth, empowered by the Spirit to be a living member of God's story in the world.
Traditional Evangelicals::Threefold:sing, preach, invite
Pragmatic Evangelicals::Twofold:music set and preaching
Younger Evangelicals::Fourfold:narrative of gathering, hearing the Word, Communion, dismissal
