De Happy Clappies

Happy-clappy is a derogatory term originating in the United Kingdom.
This style of worship involves joyful congregational worship songs, often accompanied by acoustic guitars and drums in which the congregation c l a p along to the rhythm of the song, or raise one or both hands in the air, and occasionally dance.
Christian critics of this style of worship object to what they perceive as simply the rousing of emotion rather than properly focusing on God. Supporters counter that this style is more relevant and therefore accessible to ordinary people.

Unlike many derogatory terms, it has N O T been adopted by groups that practice it, who prefer to call it "charismatic" or "spirit-led" worship.

  1. Volgens een relitest heb ik van alle christelijke kerkgenootschappen de minste affiniteit met de evangicalen, zoals de Pinkstergemeente. Overigens: ieder zijn meug.
