"Body Worship"

[Hal Eaton]

Two of my granddaughters (sisters) depart tomorrow for Chuuk (Micronesia), where they will teach in a Christian school. Both are graduates of John MacArthur's Master's College. One has been involved with a Korean Church, and has talked about the joy, exuberance, and uninhibited physical expression of spirituality.

I thought her attitude was rather defensive when she spoke of it as "Body Worship." Is this a new construct, or am I behind the times?

Oldad, curious, as always . . .

...I would be leery of it.

Seems we have enough problems keeping the flesh from being the center of attention in our lives - and, thus, tempting and causing us to sin in thought, word, or deed - without extolling it in worship.

Isn't that one of the focal points of most pagan religions?
