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).
