"Our generation of the Church is childish. Too often we play word games in
the pulpit, sing syncopated nonsense and call it church music – or worse,
praise, and fight over who pays for the hot dogs when the God Squad goes on it’s
next spiritual retreat at Circus World. Secular society doesn’t hate the Church;
it doesn’t take the Church that seriously. The world knows it’s in deep trouble,
so it can’t take time for our stained glass amusement centers; it doesn’t see
that we have very much to do with reality. We’re in this fix because too many of
our leaders are intellectual children. " - Roger Chambers
I wish I could've known this brother. Thankfully technology has preserved some of his work. For the enitre article click here.

That's funny, on a Christian forum today we were talking about the trend of using secular music as worship songs, or putting worship songs to secular music: like "Just As I Am" to Van Halen's "Jump".
A little while later on the radio a song came on that made me laugh out loud. I thought, "Wow, that would be a perfect song for a lot of churches."
The song? Grateful Dead, "I may be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride."
True, true, true.
I am with you. I wish I could have known Roger personally. His stuff has always been awesome.
I am moving to NC next week. We need to get together soon. Look forward to seeing you.
Sounds good. I'll look forward to it.
