Yes, and sometimes it’s not so much the church’s message (as in my case) but the people. You get people who have attended a church for years and when there is new, fresh blood that starts attending it’s ‘We’ve always done it this way’ etc etc. My cousin was instrumental in setting up a youth groupo and revitalizing the choir and music for her new church when she moved. But then people complained that she was ‘running it all’ (even tho’ no one else stepped up to start or help with this).
Sometimes you get the feeling that those who are able to help with more stuff in the church are fairly smug about their ‘higher Christian status’ as I call it.
Reading a few lines of a beautiful bit of Buddhism isn’t going to ruin a church. Many parts of many religious readings and texts are considered world literature.
Beautiful as some Buddhist texts might be, they make a poor substitute for the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and thus have no place in Christian worship.
