The desire to go back to the early church and its "practices" is understandable, but in my opinion, misguided. The church has problems now . . . and the church had problems then. I think it is better to focus on the culture and practice in which we worship in the contemporary context.
Singing Christians, praising God's gracious covenant wonders of creation & redmption, individual & ecclesial/gathered, as part of the normal Christian life, seems undisputable.
Bring back the incense! It’s funny that some churches use smoke machines but they think incense is some sort of empty ritual. 😁
