Liturgical churches are in decline,
The papers and the clergy whine.
Numbers down?
Don’t wear a frown.
Now faithfulness may truly shine.
You say mainline faith is a bust,
‘Cuz tradition and rituals disgust.
So give them guitars
and pastors in bars…
But in what will we finally trust?
They come to me hungry for healing
So sick of the wheeling and dealing.
The bleeding and broken
Hear good news spoken
This Body is more than a feeling.
Amen Liv. One thing I think about is the same issue regarding marriage. Is the gift, beauty and joy of marriage somehow less because many choose to not get married? Nope.
I was trying to channel my inner Carl Castle, who used to do the listener limerick challenge on Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. Maybe NPR is dying too…:)
