A worship source for the millenium

As a source for personal spiritual exploration or leadership of public worship, "Worldwide Worship" stretches the boundaries. It is an early venture into what is destined to be a network of religious ideas spread across world cultures by instant communication. I wonder about some of the choices - a sign of the effectiveness of the format. It causes one to consider the reasons why this choice was made and what causes my reaction. A dialogue takes place that broadens ones perceptions and gives greater depth to ones own chosen faith. All for the good in one world of many faiths.
