food for thought - Thanks for you posting of this article. If you heard some of the I/me versions of modern liturgy practiced in some ECUSA churches in the Chicago area, you would know that the devil has taken the apple to a new group of people in the guise of CHANGE.

The Evil One has been hanging with ECUSA for a long, long time. This is just another in his seemingly bottomless bag of tricks.

I/me versions of modern liturgy practiced in some ECUSA

I attended a noon weekday Eucharist in a city I was visiting on business last month. I knew the minute I walked in it was an extremely liberal church, but I was very shocked to find that they had altered the liturgy dramatically.

I expected "Blessed be God: Creator, Redeemer, Sanctifier. And blessed be God's Kingdom now and forever." That's the standard feminist revision that crops up in many churches.

This also caught my ear:

Priest: God dwells in you.
People: And also in you.

Interesting. And, of course, the Creed had to be dispensed with. So divisive, all that doctrine. But what came next actually shocked me.

They omitted the confession and absolution. Just skipped over it. Bothersome concept -- sin -- isn't it?
