There’s something very appealing about the controlled chaos of many liturgical worship services. There are always a dozen things going on, lots of movement, lots of energy. In many respects, there is more freedom in a liturgical service than in many apparently freer liturgical traditions. In many Protestant services, the people sit and listen through much of the service, standing occasionally for singing or Scripture reading. Despite the stricter form found in more traditional liturgical services, there is in fact much more freedom.
