I have always wanted to respond to the "I didn't get anything out of <worship/sermon/whatever> by asking "Well, what did you put into it?" The desire not to be...
Dear Lew: You have reached the epitome of liturgical understanding. Hierarchical liturgy IS herding cats! Ask almost any Eastern bishop! Jim of Olym ... ...

In my "normal" parish, this would not even be possible, even if it were desirable. Jon + Pr. Jon Christenson, STS Redeemer Kirche Col. Baker's Field, People's...
Simon, do you mean the entire worshiping community? In most US churches, that would be next to impossible due to space limitations. If the congregation is...
I think that if a Bishop is making a pre-announced visitation, s/he ought be given the opportunity to preside or preach or both. Most people have limited...
Kinda like responding to the person who isn't being fed that "maybe it's time to take off the bib and put on an apron"... I don't think I've ever said that...
