I definately agree Puritan. I was not knocking the posteures at all. What concerns me is the vain repetition, done without any emotions week after week. And compared to the black calvinist church I recently visited, with our dutch congregation is day and night. Our new young pastor has brought life to the word. Inflection. We now have a "call to worship" instead of a "votum" (whatever that means) We have a sound biblical service, without the mere formalities. We now share a meal when we have communion after the service instead of the "Lord's Appetizer"

So when I say "dead" I did nto mean the postures were dead in themselves, just the repetition and starched congregation was dead.

I do not know about any of you, but when I hear what the Lord has done for the salvation of His sheep, I get moved, I get emotional, and all the glory goes to Him alone.

For the time with the interim pastor, I knew what time it was every 10 minutes from looking at my watch, I new the number of hairs of the person sitting in front of me week after week.

Remember extreme traitional does not have to equal traditionalism. Didnt Pelikan say tradition is the faith of the living and traditionalism is the faith of the dead? I know it was something like that...
