These were the words of an older Christian man as I spoke about our church. It made me a little frustrated since we don't know what God has in store for people. As we broadcast the word we don't see the hidden work of God's Holy Spirit as he enables people to welcome the message.
His comments also made be think about our church culture and the culture(s) we are trying to reach. At this point I think he was right - we can't grow an Anglican Church where we are if it means clinging to Anglican traditions.
What we do in church needs to be evaluated by its ability to share the word with both Christians and those finding out. Our prayer is that by being flexible, people from all sorts of backgrounds would hear the gospel message and be rescued from their sin by the the forgiveness Jesus brings.
