St Kylies Community sucks

From St Kylies (Patron saint of the post modern waster).

I have a strong attachment to the idea of community, but having recently started working with a community of the unwilling – where members through homelessness have to get on with communal living, I’ve smudged some of the lines of my idealised picture. Community can be more picaresque than picturesque and often it doth sucketh.

The group that whips the weekly worship into shape in church got asked this question recently: ‘How far are our psalms, hymns and spiritual songs expressing a sufficiently wide spectrum of spiritual experience and aspirations or are we too narrow and self-absorbed?’

Perhaps swayed by thinking ‘we do because we can’, some sermoneers, including His Rowanness, are intending to post their preachy bits on YouTube. Not sure which of the current categories sermons fit under – people or comedy or entertainment? There are already about 2000 ’sermons’ there, and there will be more, but the really good sermons are the ones that aren’t listed and styled as such, like this one. If you don’t get all hot eyed at this one you don’t have a pulse.

You better watch out, you’d better not cry…..

Is any toy worth it?
