For the worshippers out there...

Hey everyone, in the absence of brilliant ideas for blog posts this week, I thought I'd share with you a favourite website of mine that I've been following for several years.

The eponymous Londoner JonnyBaker writes a blog incorporating his experiences with worship, fellowship and church in an emerging culture - sometimes this is labelled as "Emergent." He also contributes to a site called emergingchurch.info which is also a great read. I highly recommend his "Worship Tricks" - while I'm not keen on the label, the "tricks" themselves are interesting, accessible, exploratory ways to encounter worship in a more multi-sensory way (Jonny also gives a more thoughtful exploration of the idea of worship tricks on the site so go have a look).

Also on the Worship theme, check out the ReJesus Online Labyrinth. For thousands of years, labyrinths have been used in worship and meditation. ReJesus (itself an interesting site) has put together this online version (requires flash and is a popup so turn your blockers off!). It's best when your speakers are on! I highly recommend it one day as part of your devotions or anytime you have 10 minutes or more to just try it out in a devotional, meditative sort of way.

So let us know what you think of these links - and leave comments if you have any other great links to share. I'll add them to our (presently neglected) linkroll!
