Some how I loose the connectivity of the simple Dorcas home and how they met to what the Catholic church is today.
All things have modest beginnings. The idea that 1st century Christian worship was somehow “purer” than modern liturgical worship is quite novel.
A reading of the Greek text shows that liturgical worship was the norm, just as it was for the Jews.
The anti-liturgical prejudice of American Evangelicalism didn’t exist.
