The second set of priorities from the Pray Tell survey seem to aim the liturgy at creating a human experience of divine presence.
They seek a strong sense of:
- Wonder and mystery
- The heavenly liturgy
- Reverence for Christ in all His modes of presence
- Closer union with Christ in the Eucharist
- Encouragement for silence and prayer.
- God’s wonder
- God’s beauty
The third set of priorities seems more focused on creating an experience of Christian community.
They seek a strong sense of:
- Strengthening faith and community
- Naturalness in the liturgical action
- The presider as teacher, leader, and host of the assembly.
- A collective act rather than private piety
- A gathered community present intentionally
- Continuity between congregation and ministers
- Natural reverence without self consciousness
