Is Applause Appropriate in Worship?

It seems the debate will never end over whether it is appropriate for a congregation to applaud in worship or not. Here are some of the questions to consider:
  • Why applaud, or not?
  • Whom are we applauding?
  • What are we applauding?
  • Is applause a needed emotional release?
  • Should we applaud children but not adults?
  • Does applause signify entertainment?
