Too funny But I had to give my own “deep a-men” to the tradition vs. traditionalism statement. We are too easily caught up in tradition for the sake of tradition… “because it’s always been done that way;” “if it was good enough for our ancestors, forefather, you fill in the blank; then it’s good enough for us.” My how we can tie up the hands of God!

all of these things were true about this place except the woman named merna but there was a man named melvin who played the organ along with brother ray who played piano – they played a couple old gospel songs.

Hymnals. Choir loft.
And possibly the echo from the past, of an older, wise man named Mark, responding to a Spirit-moving moment, with his deep a-men!

umm potluck after the concert? hymnals in every seat? an ancient woman who can play organ/piano with a twang? (her name is probably merna or myrtle or sudie bell) an old man/deacon who says “amen” or “come on” after just about every statement made by the pastor? all of these and more, if you give my little southern baptist-raised brain some time to think…
