I thought the Carruthers' comment (1st response, 2nd post of the thread, and quoted immediately above!) addressed the significance pretty well.

If we stick with "in", we lose the distinction the framers made between "matters of worship" and the rest of life, and the fact that the latter is bound to the Word, and that alone.
