Sermons Styles and Politics, round 2.
Jul 3rd, 2008 |
X wrote, I responded (see previous posts). This is the second letter from X as we explore why we do what we do in church.
What do you think? Would you have responded differently? How? Is there a better way to make sure we hear “the Word of the Lord” as well as “the voice of the people?”
The following is the response to the response:
Drew,
Thank you for your thoughtful response.
I can not dispute anything you said. I’m sure your assessment of generational differences is accurate and, as you requested, I will continue to be “graceful and patient” with these styles and consider them as “a gift to those in the church that need them”.
I will, however, repeat my strong objection to political statements made by members of the congregation during Sunday morning worship services.
Again, thank you for your response and for your leadership at this important time not only for Lafayette but for the church universal.
