Sunday Morning at the Church of St. Relevancy
Posted: June 29, 2008
Grieving the death of two liturgical friends…
Has anyone seen Gloria?
She's missing from my church.
Miss Patri taught me praise for God.
Please help me in my search.
"Doc" Sology is also gone.
I long to see him back.
I leaned on him when I was young.
He kept my praise on track.
But something changed. The songs got fast.
The Lord's Prayer went away.
Responsive readings from my past
were loudly drummed away.
My Sunday mornings aren't the same
since Gloria and "Doc"
were labeled too traditional
and forced to take a walk.
It's mourning time here in my pew.
Can you relate to me?
I have a hunch my friends have died.
The death of liturgy.
