Breathing in is worship

[no-body]

The eastern religions have been stating this for thousands of years so it's not really a new concept or anything.

Well more like paying close attention to breathing is worship but it's still a similar point.

'Breathing in is worship' - I heard a Bishop say this today and I liked it. A lot.
What do you think?

Breathing in is worship if you spend every breath in obeying God and remembering Him.

Very true Peace
I see every breath as His breath, for I would be nothing without it and not exist without Him

Thanks Peace,

I agree, to my mind, if I think about it, breathing in is an act of remembering God.

If we get to re-define what each other's actions mean now, I think I'll go tell that bishop that washing one's hands is forsaking God.

If he actually meant "my breathing in is worship", then I would encourage him to make himself clearer in future and to stop speaking for others.

what is breathing out?

The first answer that came to my mind was "tithing", but I doubt any church with a sense of self-preservation would go along with that.

Yes since every breath depends on Him and it is thanks to Him

He was a C of I Bishop speaking to a C of I group.
I imagine he wasn't trying to speak for any grouchy Canadian atheist with sparkling hands

Yes, but you asked a bunch of mostly non-C of I people for their opinions on the statement.

Also, it was phrased as a general assertion. If he meant to only be speaking about the people assembled, he could've used the word "we" or something.

But you get my point, right? If one person can assert that some everyday routine action has theological implications for the person making it, then so can another.
