I believe that we as Christians should be completely open and vulnerable because it is right. We are not to lie to each other and hide from each other, and we are deffinitely not to try and hide our sins and mistakes from God.

Also, if we can't be open and vulnerable and honest in church, then where can we be honest? The church should be where we can be MOST open and vulnerable, not least.

You know Jeremy I don't know about your worship service however the church I go to has a portion of it that is classically termed "corporate confession" where we are to think on our need for forgiveness and see it in the work of Christ. Now what that isn't is a bunch of us screaming out our sins to each other. So what do you mean by open?

Peter

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. Augustine of Hippo
