They Trifle With God
I am utterly disheartened with this.
My only response to what they are doing is the words of John Calvin . . .
"The chief end of life is to acknowledge and worship God . . . It is not in the power of men to form modes of worship they please . . . They trifle with God like children with their puppets . . . for they are perpetually contriving new modes of worship."
and the words of St. Paul . . .
"Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord."
(I am curious what others out there think about this, please feel free to comment and let me know what you think)

I think your response says it all. To trifle with the things of God is not we should be proud of like those in the article.

Agreed. One could perhaps be a little more forgiving of this in a context of playwriting and performing, but during the Divine Liturgy itself! I'd have thought that Episcopalians would have known better.
Just when I thought evangelicals couldn't get any more stupider . . . ;)
