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.

I suspect an over 500 year old effort to get closer to the primitive Church can no longer be described as "novel," rzman.
The impurities that originally provoked that effort are well known, too.
They read Paul’s letters and sang a few psalms and basically that was that. To come up with books on what to say and what to do and have a lineage of popes and cardinals and arch-bishops and bishops and priests plus all the pomp. Yeah, I’m sure that’s what Yashua had in mind for his flock. Now I know why He referred to us as sheep.
