Week 3: What words describe how we come together in worship?
List Owner
From QR2 News:
In 1759 John Woolman felt led to make a difficult and dangerous trip to Wehaloosing to meet with the Indians there to preach and learn. From Woolman’s journal: "On the evening of the 18th I was at their meeting, where pure gospel love was felt, to the tendering of some of our hearts. The interpreters endeavored to acquaint the people with what I said, in short sentences, but found some difficulty, as none of them were quite perfect in English and Delaware tongues, so they helped one another, and we labored along, Divine love attending. Afterwards, feeling my mind covered with the spirit of prayer, I told the interpreters that I found it in my heart to pray to God, and believed, if I prayed aright, he would hear me; and I expressed my willingness for them to omit interpreting; so our meeting ended with a degree of Divine love. Before the people went out, I observed Papunehang (a chief of the Delaware tribe) . . . speaking to one of the interpreters, and I was afterwards told that he said in substance as follows: "I love to feel where words come from."
