Albert C. Niles, a UU minister has written,
"Worship is the human mind comtemplating the wonders of the universe,
and being not afraid. Standing somewhere within a galaxy of stars we
ask questions, some to be answered, some only to be asked. Those which
lead to truth meld into knowledge, and through our knowing worship
becomes enlightened.
Yet always, and always, there remains more mystery to explore, more to
be discovered than understood. All this gives substance for worship,
and in our outpouring of adoration we hold in reverence even that which
may never be part of our understanding."
