Elizabeth Newman, on not reducing Christian worship to a private affair disconnected from our socio-political lives (in a passage that would make Peter Leithart leap for joy):

The tendency to limit worship to a Sunday-only activity coincides with the assumption that worship has little to do with our political or economic lives, our lives in the “real world.” Yet as Hauerwas and Wells remind us, “Worship is, or aspires to be, the manifestation of the best ordering of that body, and is thus the most significantly political—the most ‘ethical’—thing that Christians do.” The turn to worship, then, is not a merely pious turn away from the real world for a few hours, but is instead a turn to the real world that is the body of Christ.
