There is no definition for contemporary liturgical elements. So, how can you possible agree to being comfortable with any and all undefined stuff that you don't even know about? Absurd with a capital A. <br /><br />how about those big stupid puppets I have seen in some liberal church services?<br /><br />Well that is exactly the same as playing a familiar hymn with a guitar instead of the organ.<br /><br />So, absurd to just slap the contemporary label on anything.<br /><br />contemporary = new undefined unspecified element<br /><br />Oh sure, I will agree to anything.

Why sit back and relegate truth-telling to blog-writing and tavern-qvetching? Is that the taking up of our cross that Jesus call us to? Or shall it finally be that the liberals or "progressives" who seem more than willing to sacrifice to the spirit of the age be the only ones with a public voice?

The Infant Priest, The Tree of Life, We Praise You and Acknowledge You) are "contemporary." True, this is not in the sense "they" mean it, but such thinking is honest and a way to avoid the trap that is best avoided at this time.Pastor Peasanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13230028305397510765noreply@blogger.com
