And what's all this about caging the drummer?

I mean really, people.

I say, “Free the drummer!”

“Free the drummer,” I say.

We NEED to isolate the children – they can bother people with their laughing, crying and adorableness

Assigned seating within the sanctuary.

"This section reserved for parents with children."

Baloney. Jesus loves children. Why sequester them away from others?

You ask the RIGHT questions.. (That is, if you're striving to be a theological gadfly…) Seems to me that you're friendly with the God Who Disturbs… (Eagle's nests, swords in families, etc.) Thanks & keep it up!

It seems we have taken a sacred, corporate meal (Seder) and stripped it down in order to be efficient and able to serve in large quantities. Funny though, that it was designed (and commanded) to be done in the home, with the head of that household leading the sacraments. Of course, now we have turned it into a part of our programming where the preacher leads it and we can bang it out in under 5 minutes. Just like so many other elements of our services, the focal point is one person, everyone else consumers or observes. Note: I have nothing agaisnt churches who celebrate communion in their corporate gatherings – but I would at least like to see the Seder taught…

Whenever I read about communion in the Bible I always wonder how we came up with the way we do it today. In the Bible it sounds like a shared meal, none of this bits of cracker and thimbles of grape juice passed around the sanctuary.

[This coming from a Baptist-turned-Episcopalian who now takes bread and wine on a weekly basis.]
