So it hit me, my ambivalence about liturgy and the Church Year: is it another way of pining for Christendom? There are so many great "feasts" that we don't celebrate on their actual day... All Saints Day is November 1, not NOvember 6, not whatever is the first Sunday in November.
We had an awesome service Sunday, packed house such joy in singing, freedom in preaching, seamless integration of technology...
Are we missing the days when if we had an All Saints Day Service on Tuesday, we would have packed the house, but now with the loss of Christendom, churches are empty on every day but Sunday? Are we missing a culture built around the Church Year?
And if we are missing that, while at the same time generally bashing "Christendom," what's really going on?
