Lunchroom: Max Butler, everyone…
PAPhil: There are Covenant churches that are liturgical and not as “modern” that have many young people in them (primarily young people) who love that because they are longing for a richness of the history
ggluepke: Please give us some examples of different worship languages, so I know what mine is and what new ones to try
PAPhil: of the experience of worship that has stood the test of time
PAPhil: something that isn’t lights and cameras, etc.
PAPhil: and they are young and very aware and still postmodern
tcoyer: (raised hand)
RPWilkens: (raised hand)
bobannister: (kind of)
ajbfoot: raised hand
kaliczi: only once…thankfully
ggluepke: we can’t hear any of the comments off mike
ajbfoot: But like Duke Ellington said, there are two kinds of country music…
DanSchuttler: This is so fantastic! 20 years ago, the few worship leaders in the Covenant who were brave enough to come to Midwinter would huddle quietly in the hotel lobby and comiserate together and wonder when worship ministry would get its due! the dream is coming true!
bobannister: I want a blues church!
mattkennedyrosecov: raising my hand
bobannister: Please repeat whatever they say!
cov_church: Will do
jim condap: blues brothers at the country bar, “we got both kinds, country and western”
cov_church: Also trying to adjust the mic mix
cov_church: Let us know if this sounds better
th007: it’s better
th007: thanks
cov_church: You’re welcome!
PAPhil: re my comments above too, liturgical/high church doesn’t have to mean stuffy, boring, constricted
Lunchroom: true.
DanSchuttler: Dan – old buddy!!
DanSchuttler: the few, the proud, the old guys!!
tcoyer: i don;t think any of us intends to say that liturgical/high church is stuffy and boring
kaliczi: there are many times I find liturgical to be refreshing, actually.
bobannister: “Worse Apart”
cov_church: amen…there are young churches thriving actually in the covenant that are liturgical
DanSchuttler: Thanks for the shout out, Mr. Johnson!
PAPhil: amen! that’s what i’m talking about
PAPhil: drwaing from the rich tradition
