  14. BREATHWORK ENDS THE
    ARGUMENT WITHIN

    Not ordinary breathing.

    The body already manages that without requiring a committee meeting.

    Conscious breathing.

    The deliberate act of bringing attention into the body and remaining with the breath long enough for the noise to lose its authority.

    A slow, full in-breath.

    A long, unhurried out-breath.

    Then another.

    Nothing mystical has to happen.

    There need be no visions, revelations, sacred music, or sudden purchase of white linen.

    The breath does not have to produce bliss, wisdom, or a more impressive human being.

    It asks only for attention.

    In that way, conscious breathing has something of I need do nothing in it.

    Not passivity.

    Not collapse.

    Not giving up.

    Simply the end of interference.

    The breath is already moving.

    Life is already happening.

    The body is already here.

    For a few moments, nothing has to be improved, solved, defended, explained, or spiritually upgraded.

    When the body is cold, tight, tired, painful, or restless, there is the breath.

    When the mind begins manufacturing a grievance, rehearsing an argument, predicting disaster, or reopening a case that was never going to court, there is the breath.

    When nothing is wrong, there is the breath then too.

    That may be the most important part.

    Breathwork is not merely an emergency service called when the building is on fire.

    It can become the place one lives from.

    Over time, conscious breath creates a space where striving begins to look unnecessary.

    No philosophy is required.

    No spiritual costume.

    No certificate.

    No audience.

    No carefully arranged photograph beside a candle with a caption about surrender.

    Just the body as it is.

    Just the breath as it moves.

    Just the next slow in-breath and the next long out-breath.

    The mind may continue talking for a while.

    It usually does.

    It has concerns.

    It has evidence.

    It has brought supporting documents.

    But conscious breathing does not argue with the mind.

    It simply stops giving it the whole room.

    Thought becomes background weather.

    The body softens where it can.

    Time becomes less urgent.

    The need to control the moment begins to loosen.

    This is where breathwork and forgiveness begin to resemble one another.

    Neither changes what is real.

    Neither fights the appearance.

    Neither demands that the world behave properly before peace is allowed.

    They remove some of the interference.

    The cold remains.

    The ageing body remains.

    The noise remains.

    The ordinary morning remains.

    Nothing needs to be excluded.

    Sanctuary does not mean hiding from experience.

    It means finding the place within experience where the fight can stop.

    The world can keep shouting.

    The door has been found.

    It opens inward.

  15. The Escape From Politics

    Somewhere in the source code of a website the public was never meant to see, a secret society for the people who run the world kept a list of its members in plain text, sitting in the page where anyone who thought to look could read it. On the morning of Monday, June 15, somebody looked.[1] The group is called Dialog, an invitation-only network founded in 2006 by the investor Peter Thiel and the Silicon Valley entrepreneur Auren Hoffman, and for two decades it kept one promise to its members above all the others: that nothing said inside the room would ever be written down where the rest of us could find it.[1] That promise held until the society's own code broke it.

  16. LINKSDERWOCHE | 23/2026: Produktivität, Lean, Projektmanagement, Agile, Management und Leadership, Politik und Verwaltung

    PRODUKTIVITÄT

    Mythos Unverzichtbarkeit | Wider de Unverzichtbarkeitsreflex

    Die aktuelle Podcastfolge von Ivan Blatter hat es in sich. Finde zumindest ich. Ein herrlicher Begriff, den er dabei benutzt: Unverzichtbarkeitsreflex. Passt. Alles drin. Hand aufs Herz: Sind wir wirklich beständig unverzichtbar? Können wir wirklich keinen zweiwöchigen Urlaub machen, ohne dass die Welt untergeht? Und selbst wenn dem so ist, ist das gesund? Ich persönlich finde es viel besser, wenn ich sagen kann, dass ich einen guten Job gemacht habe, und wenn ich für vier Wochen in der Versenkung verschwinden kann, ohne dass etwas schiefgeht.

    Obsidian | Dynamische Projektübersicht

    Ich kann Obsidian-Nutzern den Blog von Thomas Mathoi nur empfehlen. Er zeigt immer wieder sehr anschaulich, wie Obsidian als „Wissensinstrument“ zur Steuerung von Projekten genutzt werden kann. Ich persönlich nutze übrigens Taskboard für die Organisation meines Personal Kanbans in Obsidian, da das Add-on Kanban schon lange keine Updates mehr erhalten hat, und bin damit ganz zufrieden. Der Versuch, ausschließlich mit den „Boardmitteln” zu arbeiten, war für mich nicht ganz so befriedigend. Das ist aber sicherlich auch eine Frage des persönlichen Geschmacks.

    Purpose und Leidenschaft | Weshalb beides zusammengehört

    Purpose oder Sinnhaftigkeit gilt manchen ja als Mantra, wenn es um die Frage geht, worauf es ankommt. Nur mal ganz ehrlich: Nur weil eine Sache einen sinnhaften Zweck erfüllt, bedeutet das nicht, dass ich mit Elan an die Sache gehe. Und umgekehrt: Für etwas eine Leidenschaft zu haben, bedeutet noch lange nicht, dass es einen sinnhaften Zweck erfüllt. Beides einzeln betrachtet bringt uns nicht weiter. Beides zusammen dann schon eher. So verstehe ich Dan Rockwell. Und das ergibt für mich persönlich sogar Sinn. Leidenschaft ist der Antrieb, der Zweck gibt die Richtung vor.

    Systemisches Denken | Haben wir es verlernt?

    Wo ordne ich systemisches Denken ein? Es passt zu fast allen Themenkomplexen der Links der Woche. Daher habe ich mich entschieden, es hier unter „Produktivität” einzuordnen. Ähnlich wie Ralf Keuper gewinne auch ich immer häufiger den Eindruck, dass wir das systemische Denken zunehmend verlieren. Und nein, ich meine nicht die vielen systemischen Coaches, auch wenn es Parallelen geben mag. Mir geht es um das Denken in Systemen, das Denken in zweiter und dritter Ordnung usw. Dinge. Übrigens denken echte Lean-Freaks in Systemen. Das ist ein Markenzeichen der großen Denker des Toyota Production Systems. Das nur am Rande bemerkt. Was Keuper am Beispiel der Ökologiebewegung beschreibt, scheint mir weit über dieses Thema hinaus der Fall zu sein. Und nein, hier geht es nicht um die Frage von gut oder schlecht, sondern um die berühmte adaptive Feedbackschleife, die organisationelles und institutionelles Lernen ermöglicht.

    LEAN

    Entwickeln statt „Mieten“ | Weshalb man die eigenen Mitarbeitenden entwickeln sollte

    Uiuiui, Mark Graban schreibt allen Ernstes, man solle nicht nur Menschen mit Berufserfahrung einstellen, sondern Menschen, die sich entwickeln wollen. Das ist doch viel zu teuer! Tja, kurzfristig vielleicht. Langfristig … Da er die Metapher vom Gärtner, der seinen Garten hegt und pflegt, damit er sich entwickeln kann, bemüht, dürfte die Botschaft relativ klar rüberkommen. Wer nur Personal anmietet und nicht selbst entwickelt, bekommt am Ende des Tages nur „eingekaufte”, keine selbstentwickelten Mitarbeiter und verliert so langfristig Wissen, Erfahrung und Kompetenz. Das ist langfristig ein hoher Preis.

    Problemlösung im A3-Format | Der A3-Report als Werkzeug der kotinuierlichen Verbesserung

    Es dürfte kaum einen Lean-Enthusiasten geben, der den A3-Bericht nicht kennt. In puncto kontinuierliche Verbesserung kommt man nicht an ihm vorbei. Aus gutem Grund. Für diejenigen, die den Ansatz noch nicht kennen, hier entlang und gut aufpassen. Beim nächsten Mal wird abgefragt.

    PROJEKTMANAGEMENT

    Stakeholder | Die Bremser unter den Stakeholder und wie man die Bremse löst …

    Es gibt rund um jedes Projekt eine Vielzahl unterschiedlichster Anspruchsgruppen (Stakeholder), die sich in den sieben Typenbeschreibungen widerspiegeln, die Andrea Windolph hier zusammenfasst. Ihr Fokus in diesem Fall allerdings auf den „Bremsern“. Sie beschreibt die Typen und ihre Verhaltensweisen und gibt zu jedem Typ den jeweiligen Ansatz, um den Bedarfen und Bedürfnissen gerecht zu werden, ohne das eigene Projekt lahmzulegen. Eine durchaus interessante Idee und Ansätze, die man aufgreifen kann und sollte.

    Flughöhe und Meetings | Weshalb die Flughöhe, über die wir reden wichtig ist …

    Nicht nur im Kontext selbstorganisierter Teams höre ich immer wieder, dass zu viele Meetings eine Belastung darstellen. Eine interessante Frage, die ich dabei auch immer wieder miteinbeziehe, ist die Flughöhe in den Meetings. Jede Flughöhe hat ihre eigenen Formate mit ihrem eigenen Fokus. Ein Schelm, wer dabei nicht an Obeya denkt. Pardon, aber das muss jetzt sein. Ich bin der Meinung, dass es durchaus hilft, Besprechungen sinnvoll zu gestalten, nämlich so, dass passend zur Flughöhe die geeigneten Personen mit am Tisch sitzen, die dazu etwas beitragen können. Ruedi Gysi fasst es ganz gut zusammen: „Auf welcher Flughöhe sind wir gerade – und ist das die, für die wir hier sitzen?” Diese Frage wirkt zwar keine Wunder, aber fast 😉

    Flowmetriken | Weshalb sie wertvoll sind

    Als Kanban-Fan, Scrum-Enthusiast und Lean-Anhänger bin ich in Bezug auf „Flowmetriken” sicherlich voreingenommen. Daher finde ich den Diskussionsbeitrag von Yuval Yeret sehr interessant. Was auch sonst? Er beschreibt nämlich klar und deutlich, welchen Mehrwert Flowmetriken liefern und weshalb ich sie für sinnvoll halte. Mehr muss ich nicht zum Anteasern mitgeben. Nachlesen könnt ihr es selbst an entsprechender Stelle.

    Miro-Templates | Man muss das Rad nicht neu erfinden …

    Es ist ein offenes Geheimnis, dass ich gerne visuell arbeite. Das heißt, ich arbeite auch mal gerne mit Miro, Conceptboard und ähnlichen Tools. Dank einer großen Community gibt es einige gute Miro-Templates. Einige Klassiker sind die von Lars Richter aufgelisteten Miro-Templates, mit denen er gerne arbeitet. Und die sind gut. Man muss nicht immer alles selbst erfinden und entwickeln, sondern kann durchaus vorhandene Templates verwenden. In diesem Sinne: Schaut sie euch an!

    Ignorierte Hebel | Was Teams bremst und welche Hebel helfen

    Simon Flossmann bringt es auf den Punkt: „Vielen Scrum-Teams fehlt nicht noch ein weiteres Werkzeug, ein zusätzlicher Prozess oder das nächste Meeting. Ihnen fehlt der Mut zu einem Ziel.“ Dies untermauert er mit zehn Problemen, die ihm und anderen immer wieder in der Praxis begegnen. Wenn die Probleme klar benannt sind, lässt sich eigentlich jedes Problem lösen und der Hebel umlegen, oder?

    MANAGEMENT UND LEADERSHIP

    Kampf der Systeme | Das Schneller zieht vorbei …

    Meister Konfus hat einen Verwandten: Prozess-Konfuzius. Martin Öztürk hat mittlerweile die 10. Ausgabe seines interessanten Newsletters über LinkedIn veröffentlicht, der immer interessante Impulse bereithält. So auch in dieser Ausgabe, in der er den Nagel auf den Kopf trifft: Wir erleben einen „Kampf” der Systeme, bei dem die schnelleren Systeme die Nase vorne haben. Ein gutes Produkt zu haben, reicht heute schon lange nicht mehr aus. Wichtig ist auch, schnell zu lernen und adaptiv vorzugehen. Wer auf Probleme mit mehr Regeln, mehr Vorschriften und mehr vom Gleichen reagiert, erzeugt unnötigen Ballast, der mehr bremst als hilft. Die Lösung ist nicht mehr Struktur, sondern andere Strukturen. Bedauerlicherweise werden viele nicken, doch nur die Wenigsten schaffen den Brückenschlag.

    Meister Konfus | Die hohe Kunst der organisatorischen Selbstsabotage

    Ich bin ein bisschen stolz, dass es Meister Konfus bereits zum zweiten Mal als Gastbeitrag im Blog der t2informatik geschafft hat. Zudem hat mich bereits die Bitte um einen dritten Gastbeitrag ereilt. Daher seht mir etwas Eigenwerbung nach. Meister Konfus, der legendäre Meister der Konfusion und Verschwendung, widmet sich hier der hohen Kunst der organisatorischen Selbstsabotage. Im Falle einer Machtübernahme durch die Nicht-Alternative ist das übrigens eine hervorragende Anleitung, zu der es hoffentlich niemals kommen wird.

    POLITIK UND GESELLSCHAFT

    Verfassungstreue Beamte | Was sie müssen wissen, wenn die AfD eine Landesregierung stellt

    Dass die Damen und Herren der Nicht-Alternative mit Meinungsfreiheit nur das Recht meinen, ihre eigene Meinung zu verbreiten, während sie gleichzeitig alle anderen Meinungen unterdrücken wollen – selbst wenn diese mit hoher Evidenz untermauert werden –, dürfte jedem bekannt sein, der das großartige Glück hatte, mit Vertretern dieser Fraktion einen Diskurs zu führen. Bedauerlicherweise sieht es gefährlich danach aus, dass eben jene Gruppierung in mindestens einem Bundesland gute Karten haben könnte, die Mehrheit bei einer Landtagswahl zu ergattern. Das sind keine schönen Aussichten, insbesondere für Staatsbedienstete, die ihren Eid auf das Grundgesetz ernst nehmen. Campact verdeutlicht sehr eindringlich, was dann droht. Noch ist der Abwehrkampf nicht verloren. Es liegt an uns. An jedem Einzelnen.

    Antisemitimsus | Wie Tiktok Antisemtismus befördert

    Ein großes Problem bei der Verbreitung rechtsextremistischer und antisemitischer Inhalte sind die sozialen Medien. Durch die geschickte Nutzung einschlägiger Szenecodes erreichen sie ordentlich Reichweite – selbst dann, wenn dies laut den Gemeinschaftsregeln untersagt ist und deren Missachtung sanktioniert wird. Letzteres, so konnte ich in den letzten Tagen selbst feststellen, sollte man – zumindest im Kontext des Meta-Konzerns – nicht erwarten. Ganz im Gegenteil. Daher meine Empfehlung: Einschlägige Inhalte nicht bei der Plattform melden, sondern sauber dokumentieren und direkt bei den Strafverfolgungsbehörden anzeigen. Am Beispiel von TikTok zeigen die Belltower.News sehr eindrücklich, wie sich antisemitische Inhalte online verbreiten. Eine mehr als erschreckende Beobachtung.

    Politische Liturgie | Ein neues Verständnis von politischer Dienstleistung

    Christian Wolff versucht, einen Weg zu finden, um der Nicht-Alternative den Nährboden zu entziehen. Er plädiert dabei für eine neue politische Liturgie. Mit anderen Worten ruft er dazu auf, ein neues Verständnis von politischer Dienstleistung zu etablieren, das folgende Elemente umfasst: eine kritische Bestandsaufnahme, die Erinnerung an und die Vergewisserung durch die eigene Programmatik, die Übertragung auf den Alltag mit Zuspruch und Anspruch, die Einbettung in das persönliche, gesellschaftliche und das Weltgeschehen, die Stärkung und der Zusammenhalt, die Hinwendung zu den Menschen und die positive, auf Frieden ausgerichtete Auseinandersetzung mit Problemen. Ich persönlich tue mich etwas schwer mit der Metapher der Kirchenliturgie, muss ich zugeben, aber den inhaltlichen Punkten kann ich durchaus etwas abgewinnen.

  17. I've been loving Element Matrix video chat for a few months now. I regularly have video chats with my family, including 4 or 5 video connections from various remote locations for 3 or 4 hours each. Also, it's proved pretty easy to start video chatting with people that I meet on Mastodon in a privacy preserving way.

  18. Network Fun

    I had 15 minutes to go until a meeting with a customer. Not just any meeting, but a meeting where I was going to have to present something to them. Now I don’t talk to customers directly. It’s not in my job description. That being said, we’re all in this together and we are all one big happy team, and if the folks who usually do talk to the customers directly are tied up in other things I am happy to pitch in. Happy yes, stress free? Hell no.

    The information I needed to present would, best case scenario, involve two, maybe three sentences and that was it. If they asked me questions I told the people I was covering for that I would panic quietly and then mumble responses until they stopped asking. I was kidding, of course. I didn’t expect any questions. I expected my speaking time to be wrapped up in a manner of seconds. Still… yikes.

    Then that happy moment, about 15 minutes before the meeting… when our entire network went down. Oh… no… now what do we do??

    I wasn’t going to be able to join the call… potentially neither was any of the other 50-70 or so people who were scheduled to represent my company… and we had no way of letting each other know, and no way of letting the customer know. What do we do?

    One guy in my building who fortunately sits near me found a work around and yelled it out. Everyone else yelled it out too. I got onto the call with seconds to spare, then waited about 20 minutes for my turn to speak, then spoke my two sentences and asked for questions and there were none.

    Oh, what a relief that was. Over and done.

    After that I spent two hours on another meeting and now I am going to spend the next 90 minutes on yet another meeting. What a thrill! I just want to go home and go to bed.

  20. Members of the ecclesia uniting and seeking God’s help in tribulation

    Tuesday-night at the meeting of the Ecclesia BrusselLeuven we read Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 1+3, looking at the difficulties we have encountered the last few months and how we had to cope with it but also how we should continue our way.

    Sometimes we do get to recognise we could not re-conciliate but have to turn over the page and leave those who did not want to be amicably connected with us on their own. Sometimes a community has the priority to protect its own flock and has to take measures which do not seem so pleasant for all people involved. When certain people prefer to stand on their own and are not willing to co-operate the community than has to decide to let them go their own way, but when they themselves did everything to blacken that community, they should not have to keep contact any more. As such we decided to leave the man from the North and his organisation far what they are, and shall concentrate ourselves on bringing people to Christ ourselves, without their help.

    Jesus Christ is the man who opened the way to his Father. He is the One Mediator between God and man and is the cornerstone of the Church of God.

    We do trust the Most High, Elohim Hashem Jehovah, Who shall call people and Who shall guide us and give us that what we need according to His time.

    In Him we trust and give all our hope to build up His Church in Belgium and other parts in the world.

      Alexander Michalak writes: My preliminary examination of several Second Temple texts, 1 Enoch, the Book of JubileesJoseph and AsenethTestament of Job, the First Epistle to the Corinthiansand the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs indicates that there is already at this time a connection between demons and the cult of foreign gods, although they are not always explicitly identified with one another. Sometimes the demonic spirits are said only to lead people astray, that is, to lead people toward Gentile worship and toward idolatry, whereas in other cases it is the demonic spirits who are the objects of worship, or the pagan gods themselves.
    • The House of Worship (causeitfeelsright.wordpress.com)
      The Greek word that should have been translated to church was only used twice in the New Testament. It means “the Lord’s” and was used for the Lord’s day and the Lord’s supper. But this instance is ecclesia. It means “to call forth from out of”. Matthew says if you and the other person can’t work out your problems go get help. Go find a few more people to help because maybe they’ll understand a different perspective. If that doesn’t work go find the ones who have been called out of darkness (1 Peter). When you are in darkness you can’t see clearly and when you are “in the dark” you are ignorant which simply means you don’t know. So someone who has been called out can see clearly, or they are knowledgeable or “in the know” which is having “inside” information.
    • Mary, Martha & Lazarus – the family in Bethany (hadvarim.wordpress.com)
      The gospel narrative then is largely concerned with Christ exposing the apostate Jewish leaders, and building up his apostles as “other husbandmen” to replace them. The parables recorded of the Kingdom of heaven throughout Matthew describe the kingdom of Israel in existence (Mat 11:12), under the governance of the prince of this world – the apostate Jewish leaders (John 12:31, 16:11, Eph 2:2, Luke 10:18, Mat 24:27), and then later to be replaced with the new heavens founded upon Christ as the Abrahamic seed stars are raised to the political heavens (Gen 15:5, Dan 12:2-3, Psa 19:4, 1 Cor 15:40-49, Apoc 4:1).

      Christ is described as the second Adam as compared to the first Adam (1 Cor 15:45-47). Both of them the “son of God” (Luke 3:38), and both typically created the same way. The body of Christ is the Ecclesia εκκλησια (Eph 5:23, 30, Col 1:18,24), and it is being formed from the Abrahamic dust, the seed of Abraham according to the promises of old; compare Gen 2:7 with Gen 13:16, 28:14.
      +The mortal children of Israel are described as Elohim, mighty ones, or as we have in the AV “gods”. Elohim describes the the mental state of the person, not their physical nature. Ambassadors of the father, regardless of whether they are mortal people or immortal angels. If they are empowered by the will of the spirit, they are indeed mighty ones.

      When mortal Elohim, mighty ones, do not keep the commandments of Yahweh then they are not immune – by any means – to the consequences of their actions. They will “die like men”.

      Therefore we ought to take earnest heed to the things which we have heard.  We have all the scriptures… even the testimony of the Son, which brings with it great responsibility (Heb 2:1-3).  We comfort in that if we turn from wickedness we will be forgiven. Yet vigilant in the warning that turning to wickedness means rejection (Ezk 33:11-19).

      why substitute “ecclesia” for “kyriakon”?to support the regular congregating of early Christians,who didn’t understand what Paul and Silas were doing!
      What did the New Covenant writers mean when they used the word “Ecclesia” to describe a Christian body of people?? We can safely denote that they intended to convey the original Greek meaning of the word:”A body of Christian called out of Roman and Judean systems of Government,to live under a seperate civil mentality,”a politically autonomous body of Christians,under no other King but Yeshua,under no other civil laws,than that of Yeshua.But some misguided folks misunderstood the missions of Paul, that was why these Christians ran into trouble with kings and rulers,were arrested,crucified,and martyred. They dropped Caesar as their King,and took up Christ. The writers of the New covenant didn’t substitute “kyriakon” with “Ecclesia” to mean entertainment every Sundays,and Tuesdays,and so on!

      The church, the Ecclesia, is a body of people who are redeemed called out to represent GOD and HIS Authority which means they are called to carry our HIS Laws. We are granted the responsibility of not only this but we are accountable for these actions.
      The fact that the church is failing man is an undeniable truth but it’s also devastating to the people. How do I mean they are failing the people?

    Stepping Toes

    In the readings of today we look at the brothers and sisters in Corinth some 2000 years ago.

    In Belgium the community has been troubled by persons perhaps wanting to claim to have the right to make foundations and to direct the groups of people wanting to come together under the name of Christ.

    We remember how the apostle Paul makes the argument that he has borne witness to the people of Corinth, he has shared the gospel, he has brought them to Christ and showed them the way but that he has to be sad because he only could see division between those who should be united as brethren and sisters in Christ.

    The apostle Paul in his 5th letter to the Romans and his first three letters to the Corinths, also talks…

  21. Worship and worshipping

    Under the Tags “Worship” and “Worshipping” you shall be able to find articles concerning adoration paid to a person a god or God as well as about the religious service of a person or community of persons.

    The worship can be a profound admiration and affection, an act of revering or adoring, to glorify, a dignity,reputation, high standing.

    The word “Worship” is derived from the Old English worthscipe, meaning worthiness or worth-ship — to give, at its simplest, worth to something, for example, Christian worship

    Paying high honours to some one or something, but also the act of performing acts of adoration or bringing honour, offerings  and prayers to something or some one.

    But in particular we shall talk here about the adoration to the Only One God and the religious service we can bring to Him to show our love, affection and adoration.

    Each individual can give expression of his adoration or veneration for some one or something. He can react on his feeling and express himself accordingly on his own (solo) or in group. Often when the act of worship is not performed individually, in an informal or formal group, or by a designated leader, there is taken some order to do it or some people taking charge of the ‘service’.

    Many religious traditions place an emphasis upon regular worship at frequent intervals, often daily or weekly. Expressions of worship vary but typically include one or more of the following:

    Prayer, meditation, ritual, scripture, sacraments, sacrifice, sermons, chanting, music or devotional song, dance, religious holidays, festivals, pilgrimage, dining, fasting, temples or shrines, idols, or simply private individual acts of devotion.

    The worshipping or act of bringing worship can be done in different forms, which shall be spoken of in different articles. It can be done in the house by a private person or member of the community or in a special built or purpose-built place of worship,  like a church or meeting room, or in a public place or in the open. In the Christadelphian community we mostly call the Meeting Hall “Ecclesia House”, “Ecclesia building” or simply “Ecclesia”.

    Under Worship we can find:

    worship or keep service in honour
    the veneration of a saint or higher rank: venerate, adore, veneration, adoration
    the esteem and love: adore
    Worship / adore a god or God

    perpetual adoration
    to kneel in adoration: Kneel in worship
    Adoration of the Lamb
    respectful admiration: worship, reverence

    Veneration

    Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy distinguish between adoration or latria (Latin adoratio, Greek latreia, [λατρεια]), which is due to God alone, and veneration or dulia (Latin veneratio, Greek douleia [δουλεια]), which may be lawfully offered to the saints. The external acts of veneration resemble those of worship, but differ in their object and intent. Protestant Christians question whether such a distinction is always maintained in actual devotional practice, especially at the level of folk religion.

    Orthodox Judaism and orthodox Sunni Islam hold that for all practical purposes veneration should be considered the same as prayer; Orthodox Judaism (arguably with the exception of some Chasidic practices), orthodox Sunni Islam, and most kinds of Protestantism forbid veneration of saints or angels, classifying these actions as akin to idolatry.

    Worship manifestation of Godliness

    So under this “Tag” or the “label” of “Adoration” and “Worship” we will mainly focus on piety, and the exercise of that piety. It will mainly deal with the devout and pious by which a religious attitude is assumed to be faithfulness and submitting  to God, Godloving, exalting, glorifying, idolizing and to extol a superior being.

    In worship we will proceed to the saying of prayers and spiritual texts usually recited or chanted. Many communities bring in their worship different variations and music and hold offerings in different ways.

    A typical altar in a Latin Rite Catholic church — High altar of the Kapucijnenkerk; Ostend, Belgium.

    For the Holy Mass or commonly called the Mass the Roman Catholics do have an Eucharistic celebration in the Latin liturgical rites or in more up todate modern liturgical rites of the Roman Catholic Church. The term is used also of similar celebrations in Old Catholic Churches, in the Anglo-Catholic tradition of Anglicanism, in Western Rite Orthodox Churches, in Lutheran churches, and in a small number of High Church Methodist parishes.
    For the celebration of the Eucharist in Eastern Churches, including those in full communion with the Holy See, other terms such as the Divine Liturgy, the Holy Qurbana and the Badarak are normally used.
    Most Western denominations not in full communion with the Catholic Church also usually prefer terms other than Mass.

    For information on the theology of the Eucharist and on the Eucharistic liturgy of other Christian denominations, see “Eucharist” and “Eucharistic theology“.

    For information on history see Eucharist and Origin of the Eucharist, and with specific regard to the Roman Rite Mass, Pre-Tridentine Mass and Tridentine Mass.

    The term “Mass” is derived from the Late Latin word missa (dismissal), a word used in the concluding formula of Mass in Latin: “Ite, missa est” (“Go; it is the dismissal”). “In antiquity, missa simply meant ‘dismissal’. In Christian usage, however, it gradually took on a deeper meaning. The word ‘dismissal’ has come to imply a ‘mission’. These few words succinctly express the missionary nature of the Church” (Pope Benedict XVI, Sacramentum caritatis, 51)

    Sacrifice or Offering

    In the worship or service the offer is to present an act of devotion, homage, charity, etc. to express willingness, to hold out for acceptance or rejection.

    To lay before one, to present to the mind.

    To give, to pay, to perform.

    The offering is the act of making an offer. That which is offered.

    In the worship or sacrifice among the faith communities of the various religions can be found:

    altar ministry, altar service, love food, agape, sacrifice, sacrifice, altar, church sacrifice, temple sacrifice, altar secret, oblation, atonement, reconciliation, sin offering, guilt offering, peace offering, victorious sacrifice, libation, sacrifice of praise, supplication sacrifice, blood sacrifice , bloodplenging, victim, hecatomb, meat sacrifice, animal sacrifice, bull offering, unbloody sacrifice, oblation, smoke sacrifice, incense, commemorative sacrifice,  money sacrifice,  libation feast, drink offering,   prayer, sacrifice time, dinner, remembrance celebration, remembrance celebration, evening meal, remembrance meal, breaking of the bread.

    To gather

    To do the worship several religious groups do come together at a certain place. Worshipping should show your faith but also your connection: your connection with your god and with your fellow believers.

    In several Christian communities we notice the members coming together.

    regularly. The community coming together is part of the succession of

    Jesus reminder to regularly get together and meet. The Christadelphians also do come together, either in private homes like the first Christians in what some today call a house-church. These meetings happen in the community of believers or at someone’s home

    or in a custom or a public building that can serve as a ‘community

    church’ or ‘Ecclesia’. The union of believers who would like to serve God is called

    “the ecclesia” and the worship is simply called the “service” or when the

    Supper is commemorated “the Lord’s Supper” or “Breaking of the Bread.”

    That service can be simple or gloriously with songs. Yearly at the 14th Nisan or Pascha there is a special Memorial Meeting to remember the day Jesus had his last evening meal with his disciples and some close friends to commemorate the pass-over. At that remembrance day Jesus installed the New Covenant, before he was going to die for our sins.

    The Religious part of the “Meeting” or coming together to honour and to praise God, and to build each other up more spiritual  by the perusal of the Holy Scripture and by discussing the Scriptures, where in the service a lecture is given, a prepared text or ‘admonition’ or ‘reading’ for the instruction of the faith community is called “exhortation” .

    In Christian communities there are also feasts of charity or agape meals. In worship sometimes bloodless sacrifices or animal sacrifices are offered.

    Further under the tag “Worship” and related tags you shall be able to find articles on:

    sacrifice,  atoning sacrifice, sacrifices, smoking sacrifice, wine shed, burn incense, frankincense, (gum)thus, thurification,  Celebrating holy mass (do, read, sing, celebrate), officers, combine and assist, consecrate, serve Mass, go to Mass, hear Mass.

    Note: in the Dutch articles you shall be able to find much more different words, which do have in certain instances also small or bigger differences, but have no equivalent word in English, or are not able to be found in translation dictionaries. Often also many words are very typical for certain Christian denominations, and are not used by the other denominations and often not know by the other denominations. They are part of the typical church language, which is quite common in Holland and Belgium.
