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?

morning prayer is where you skip some parts of the liturgy, but even then they have confession. It is time for some to wake up about who they accept as priests. All do not have a right to serve - only those called. It this happened and the Bishops acted accordingly, we would have less problem. But not is this generation.
