The liturgies used in Lutheran, Anglican, and Catholic Churches are very old and very similar. Orthodox forms go back to the Greeks. These forms have proved their worth over many centuries. They are artistic, and they go on with or without me, without effort to produce the feelings that sometimes accompany worship, until everything clicks into place again and faith has a life of its own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791261486111154318.post-64451089254646150392011-08-10T15:42:51.317-05:002011-08-10T15:42:51.317-05:00Your reviews bring out great points.Your reviews bring out great points.S.

Faith truly is not a mood. If that were the case, we would never have faith at all! I, too, loved the Lewis' quote...and your post!

Too often we do exactly the opposite: take creativity, imagination, and individuality out of faith! But then faith is not faith anymore. It just a creed. Thank you for sharing.
