" In just this sense Christianity is a unique social imaginary that “inhabits” and emerges from the matrix of preaching and prayer. The rhythms and rituals of Christian worship are not the “expression of” a Christian worldview, but are themselves an “understanding” implicit in practice—an understanding that cannot be had apart from the practices. It’s not that we start with beliefs and doctrine and then come up with worship practices that properly “express” these (cognitive) beliefs; rather, we begin with worship, and articulated beliefs bubble up from there.
