"If only we could hand out as part of the Sunday bulletins, a glossary of words or translation of phrases maybe that would help, of course that would lengthen the service and be distracting what with all the turning of pages every time a strange word or phrase pops up."

I became very popular at our Sunday school class when I said "to heck with it" and started asking "dumb" questions such as what's the difference between an Apostle and Disciple? A great many are drawn to the "mega-churches" because its okay to not know something.

And a content to stay that way. I'd venture a guess that most people don't have any idea of what they're supposed to be saved from or how that takes place.
Americans have a fear of learning. Just look at how publik skoolz have been dumbed down. Every other institution is bound to follow.
