As the Ancient-Future Movement in the Church highlights, and as the late Robert E. Webber articulates in his many books, Anglican worship (liturgical worship in general) has both an ancient and a future dimension. Our ancient liturgy connects us with the saints who have gone before us, and liturgy places us in continuity everywhere and throughout time with the universal church and the historic apostolic faith. The liturgy also has a future dimension in that it propels us forward into the future that God has for us. Our worship lifts us heavenward and becomes for us a dress rehearsal for that time when all the saints will gather around the Lord’s Banquet Table forever. Father Rob
