Chapters 67-68 draw the apology to a close. In chapter 67 Justin describes the worship of the Christians. Some points:
(1) Help for the poor and those in need is given a central position.
(2) Strong role for the Eucharist and prayer.
(3) Great emphasis is on teaching, including the "memoirs of the apostles."
(4) The main service is on Sunday.
Couldn't help reflecting that so many of the more positive concerns of the Emerging church and missional churches are encapsulated here.
