Abstract

As the readers may already knew, this author grew up in Pentecostal


tradition, and I know that one of the primary characteristics of


Pentecostalism is worship. I agree with what Robert Mapes Anderson said,


"The heart of Pentecostalism is the worship service." In the same sense,


Daniel Albrecht strongly believes too that the Pentecostal service lies at the


heart of the Pentecostal/Charismatic spirituality. The fact that how


important is worship in Pentecostal tradition draws my attention. It makes


me to raise a question, "How significant is worship in the Pentecostal


community?" or let me put it in more active question, "What is the role of


Pentecostal worship in community?"
