Dr. StrangeLiturgy (iMonk)

I was reading over at the Boars Head Tavern about the Christian calender. It is interesting isn't it, that we really follow the Hallmark holidays even within our churches. This isn't too much of a big deal to me (Is it really wrong to have a special day to honor mothers!?!). I think the only concern is if we shape too much of what we do around what we're "supposed" to be doing according to the calender. Anyway, the BHT had a link to the Internet Monk and an essay he composed regarding liturgy. Here's a quote...

Evangelicalism has become a cult of celebrities. Leading pastors are superstars, even cult-like figures of adoration and near-worship. Most evangelical worship encourages this imitation of the entertainer. Musicians, preachers, worship leaders all take their cues in style, dress and manner from the entertainment idolatry of our culture. Liturgical worship does not encourage this, and actually works against it by restraining the minister within the liturgy. The minister is the servant of the Word. He is ordained for the ministry of Word and sacrament, and his personality must become his servant that the Word might be heard and seen.
