from Tales of My Life
We apply the methods of business to the church. We carry over the techniques of salesmanship to evangelism. We blindly adopt secular methods of education. We even have something we call Sunday school. Once upon a time the pastor of the flock came from a place set aside for prayer and meditation. Now he comes from a seminary, a place which takes its essential shape from the university. And so even “worship,” which was the celebration of the shape of Christ, tends to become the hearing of a sermon which is more or less modeled on the form of the lecture.
