ACROSS the country and across every denomination there is a growing distance between the religious fare that we are off ering in our churches and the spiritual experience that people are craving.
When will we tumble to the fact the hymn/prayer sandwich on a Sunday morning is simply not ticking the empty boxes of people’s lives? Faith for most people who are still holding on to the possibility of God is much more fluid and exploratory than most of our dogmas and creeds permit, so, the churches continue to lose ground and continue to distance themselves from a culture that is finding new ways to explore meaning and purpose.
