Hey POW!
I scanned Webber's article and am impressed. He came here to Destin, Fl for the Anglican regional conference last Jan or so. I did not make it to hear him sadly. Do I recall correctly that you are EO? If so do you regard many streams as being truly profitable? Our church came out of an Episcopal/Anglican and many of their practices we do not hold to. I will read Webber more thouroughly when I can. What struck me right off was his challenge it seemed to evangelical church as we do it here...He seemed to say it was too disorganized, to "stage vs audience" would be my interpretation. I grew up a Methodist minister's kid and I liked the responsive reading and liturgy as my dad did it. I heard many when we were in Episcopal church complain about reading prayers and creeds. I think it does one good. We have none of that in my present church. We have communion maybe once a year. It seems we reach those hurt in the church as we know it in America...and leaving out the bells and smells and symbols seems to allow them to hear the Holy Spirit in a new way or maybe for the first time.
