So far, everyone seems really pumped about the Church Year. Would anyone care to post on its liabilities and limitations?
One that comes to mind is a fellow who said since Lent, fasting has fallen off for him.
Or I think about how on Easter there was all kinds of activity on Twitter saying "he is risen." But now, none of that. Is He no longer risen?
Do we talk about the birth of Jesus any time outside Christmas?
I wonder if there is a kind of nostalgia in us. We should be able to date our letters by a sacred feast. We wish that Christianity was enough of a cultural force that we could actually do a good service for Ascension Day ON Ascension Day, but who would come to Church at 11 a.m. Thursday? Or even if we had it in the evening?
