Powerpoint Orthodoxy

A video of a very "Protestant-Evangelical"-looking sermon, delivered at a Coptic Orthodox church. It even open with a worship leader on guitar. Oh, and don't forget the Powerpoint!

Switchfoot - Let That Be Enough

I wish I had what I needed
To be on my own
'Cause I feel so defeated
And I'm feeling alone

And it all seems so helpless
And I have no plans
I'm a plane in the sunset
With nowhere to land

And all I see
It could never make me happy
And all my sand castles
Spend their time collapsing

Let me know that You hear me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
And let that be enough

It's my birthday tomorrow
No one here could know
I was born this Thursday
22 years ago

And I feel stuck
Watching history repeating
Yeah, who am I?
Just a kid who knows he's needy

Ket me know that You hear me
Let me know Your touch
Let me know that You love me
And let that be enough

Ahem; I have an announcement to make...

Must Read

Fr. Michael Reagan has just posted a wonderful essay on the relationship between gender, metaphor, and Church attendance and effectiveness. Go Read It.

While you're at it, if you have enough time and mental capacity, go ahead and read some of these (related, I think) essays from (my favorite post-Evangelical) Michael Spencer's website, internetmonk.com:
- On Romanticism in Church Worship and Church Theology
- Perseverance: That Most Neglected Doctrine

And, for good measure, read these:
I Am Not Spiritual
When I Am Weak

Which makes me think of this (also found here).
