In Appendix 1 of his Signs of Wonder, Robert E. Webber proposes the following principles as "The Be-Attitudes of Convergence" (restated):
- Be exposed to traditions of worship other than your own.
- Be open to the active presence of the supernatural.
- Be focused upon the celebration of an event.
- Be sure to set aside time exclusively for worship.
- Be participatory in order to experience worship.
- Be aware that the rule of prayer is the rule of faith (faith comes by offering up worship).
- Be careful to include the opportunity to experience divine action and human response within the four-fold order (gathering, ministry of the word, Eucharist, sending).
- Be aware of the role your style plays in relation to the contribution of other sytles.
- Be insistent to use the arts as a vehicle for worship.
- Be aware that space communicates.
- Be inclusive of many musical styles.
- Be aware of the power of drama.
- Be free enough to use the body in worship.
- Be committed to the evangelical possibilities that lie within the Christian Year.
- Be convinced of the power of sign and symbol.
- Be attentive to the symbolism of baptism.
- Be hungry to recover the presence and power of Christ through the symbols of bread and wine at the table.
- Be in a spirit of celebration and thanksgiving when participating in the Eucharist.
- Be open to the recovery of the practice of laying on of hands for healing.
- Be sensitive to the way in which authentic worship relates to all areas of the church's ministry.
