In Britain, when someone says they do not believe in God, they stop going to church. In the U.S., many who may have doubts about Christian orthodoxy may continue to go to church.

Much of my experience with language was formed in the church, which has an oral tradition. There are lots of repetitions in prayers and song refrains. There’s a sense of incantation, that if you call not once and not twice but for a third time, the spirit appears Picture Quote #1

God expects us to measure the church not against tradition but against the standards and promises of His Word Picture Quote #1

I did most of my volunteer work when I was in college because I knew of more ways to get involved.
