Indeed, this poem is by St. Augustine (note the citation at the end of the entry). Our worship leader read this at our church retreat this fall. I had found it by doing a Google search similar to this one. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=augustine+%22i+praise+the+dance%22&btnG=Google+Search Apparently, this quote made the rounds through the Bruderhof Community (via email, under the title "In Praise of Dancing"), but I haven't been able to pinpoint its first publication. Perhaps in his Confessions? Hi Steve. Indeed, this poem is by St. Augustine (note the citation at the end of the entry). Our worship leader read this at our church retreat this fall.

But the fact is that dancing was strongly disapproved in the church from the 4th century on, not at least by St. St. Augustine who said 'It's better to dig than to dance'. If you look up 'Confessions' you will see that he writes in a completely different way. This is written in the 20th century and is without doubt,fake I noticed my daughter put this poem up on her wall.
