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.
