consider church as a toolbox
a rich ambient which contains modules for worship
for a short visit do one or few modules
for a longer visit do many or all modules
some modules contain ‘difficult’ tools
- ones you have to do many times to become good at or to get anywhere with
- tools that are unrewarding to the casual user but reveal riches to the persistent.
these tools build patience, perseverance, discipline and attentiveness.
others offer instant gratification.
