There is more of Holy Scripture, more of God’s presence, and less of men’s influence there. There are many distractions in non-liturgical, non-sacramental churches. In sacramental churches, there is a lot going on, a lot of action and response in the Divine Service, culminating in the Eucharist. It concentrates the mind. C.S. Lewis was right about non-liturgical services; one is constantly wondering, “what’s that fellow going to do or say next?” With liturgy, there are no surprises other than the amazement that comes knowing God is present, and is giving Himself to undeserving sinners.Janis Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947508427040251166noreply@blogger.com
