Some Sunday Irony
This morning we were going to church and the radio station we listened to started playing AC/DC’s “Highway To Hell”. Talk about irony. It was no big deal though.
Our favorite radio station was off the air because it was sold and will be changing formats from the hits of the 70s to the 90s to something religious which seems to be further irony.
Quote Of The Day
The church is the church only when it exists for others… not dominating, but helping and serving.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
An Episcopal Cathedral
St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral in Knoxville, Tennessee. Home of the Episcopal Diocese of East Tennessee. I’m here for a meeting of Episcopal parishes in East Tennessee.
Blue-Collar Believer
It’s crucial for churches to embrace the thought of its members who come from all walks of life and occupations. Many are paycheck-to-paycheck and do what they can to contribute with a mix of service and giving what they can financially. Every person has a responsibility to add to the life of the congregation. I consider myself a blue-collar Episcopalian and that is a concept I feel would be best explored. No matter what is in one’s bank account, what is in their hearts and souls matters most.
A Sunday Reflection
This post might be narrow blogging to the team Jesus squad. I hope it doesn’t offend anyone. These are some thoughts and I don’t want to start a debate.
Church and Christianity for that matter should be places of comfort for those who have hearts and souls that need mending after being damaged by various things. Dealing with the reality of life and its ugly stuff is hard work and the church should be a place where you can do that. I want less praise and worship and more blues and gangster rap.
Life is hard enough and Christians should be about helping people on the journey. People of faith are human beings. God is god and when that is realized freedom can be found. It is my hope that my church can be a safe haven for imperfect people. I hope this makes sense.
