Liturgy Oddities

 Change liturgy, change culture.

'Talk only to those who can make a decision': Jay Abraham, great marketer.

 

A corollary to that is to work on those things that make a difference.

 Thus, Rich Bledsoe's comment about Lady Ordination, a church/liturgy error, causing societal sex errors--that liturgy is causative, and culture downstream, is a KEY to making things right.

 

I've mentioned economy, and singing whole books.

 

Today will mention adding oddities as essential to good liturgy.

How so? Because we believe in 'both/and' logic. Jesus Christ is both God and Man, without confusion, mixture, division, or separation. (Chalcedon). We also believe 3R1 ('R' is some new relation that is not '='. We believe The Father incomprehensible, The Holy Breath (Spirit) incomprehensible, The Son incomprehensible, but not 3 incomprehensabilities, but on incomprehensabilities. 3R1.

 

We could replace the Gradual (where the Bible is brought to the front) with some such oddities, past or future. (Someday Confucianism will be eaten into the body of doctrine, incorporated. Also will be Buddhism, also will be ideographs...). 'The Good Old Days, My Ass' would be another source.

 

But the important this is to 'DO!,' as Dr. Leithart admonished us in 'Blessed Are The Hungry'. Teach outside the

service.

 

Love in Christ Jesus,

PS: One way to do this is to emulate Ron Unz and digitalize all the scientifictional (stefnal) ideas. Unz has done this with US magazines of 150 years, and discovered American Pravda--'liberals' work was blacked out when they opposed WWII. Stefnal ideas such as that in Vance's 'Moonmoth'--all wear masks, different musical instruments  used to address persons of different status are examples.

PPS: Toby Sumpter has done good work with his piece on creeds and civil order. RJR's creeds and councils is very wise.
