I think this is a good question. Today in the newspaper I saw an article about a new synagogue which held a processional celebration because they had just received their Torah Scroll. There were pictures of the men dancing as they went. I find this Biblical, appropriate, and thought-provoking.<br><br>We have commands to dance in the Psalms. The question, I think is not so much whether we should dance, it is more a question of when, how, and where. Today in both Jewish and Gentile culture, it is customary to dance at weddings, just as it was when Jesus was here. While we have no record of dancing taking place at the wedding in Cana, I'd be extremely surprised to see an argument to the contrary. And while we have no record of Jesus dancing, there is no record of Him forbidding it either. So, I think I'd have to conclude one of two things: either dancing was not done at the wedding which is why it wasn't addressed; or it was done and was a perfectly normal and expected activity which did not warrant a comment from the Lord. <br><br>I'm wondering if this is not the foothold I need to persuade our worship director that as Ecclesiastes says, there is a time to dance, implying that there are times in which we do NOT dance, corporate weekly worship being one. On the other hand, I wonder if it is not true that Christians are missing a great deal by not dancing and uncorking their emotions at approporiate times, such as weddings, thanksgivings, etc.

Stand Fast, Craigellachie!
