초대 교회에도 예배출석에 대한 강조는 있었다!!!

"He who is pious should think it a great evil if he does not go to the place where instruction is given, and especially if he can read, or if a teacher comes. Let none of you be late in the church, the place where teaching is given. Then it shll be given to the speaker to say what is useful to each one; you wil hear things which you do not think of, and profit from things which the holy Spirit will give you through the structor. In this way your faith will be strengthened about the things you will have heard. You will also be told in that place what you ought to do at home. Theferfore let each one be diligent in coming to the church, the place where the holy Spirit flourishes." (cited from The Apostolic Tradition written by Hippolytus of Rome around 215 A.D.) Robert F. Taft. The Liturgy of the Hours in East and West, p. 23
