A fine line

I had a great time at church yesterday. I don't think mum did. (please note we went to different churches).

After a particularly dull service she said to me "You know when you have to keep taking deep breaths just to stop yourself falling asleep? I don't need to be entertained but awake would be nice."

I've heard a few people complaining that all young people want in worship is to be entertained.

How dare young people like my mum and I be demanding services that are engaging enough to stay awake for. If tedium was good enough for the early church, it should be good enough for us!
