When did we blow it?
Next Step #406: Meditations at Bach’s St. Matthew’s Passion and on St. Patrick’s day begs the question: When did we lose sight of the goals? Justifying without checks and balances and legitimizing absurd decisions and expenses in the Church. Blow ups: Easter eggs and peeps. The poor and the suffering in the shadows of the church today: do they differ from those in Jesus’ shadow 2000 years ago? The impossibility of internal evaluation in the Church with the risk of damaging institutional-preservation. This is a pre-Holy week meditation for the Church and each individual believer.
