In this evocative study, new perspectives are achieved by
associating worship with topics with which it is not usually linked
and by seeing it in new contexts. Thus to begin with worship is
interpreted in terms oi'games theory, and later it is interpreted
as a political act. In other chapters, worship is considered in
relation to apparently disparate subjects: dance (does not dance
detract from the supposed solemnity of worship?), sexuality (once
inside the church door does one not have to suppose that we are all
males?) and laughter (what, smiles in the sanctuary?). Behind the
apparent arbitrariness there is a logical progression. Play, with
which the analysis opens, is a matter of balance between freedom
and rules. One activity which achieves this is dance, so that play
leads on to dance and then to sexuality, since dance has an
inescapable erotic quality. The kiss of peace has a possible sexual
connotation, which calls for the paying of attention to harmony and
conflict. Conflict relates to political struggle, and so on. From
all this, the act of worship emerges, not as the following of fixed
patterns, but as a creative act which demands the response of men's
whole being in risk and involvement.
