“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose,
by any other name would smell just as sweet.”
We are familiar with the ill-fated words from Juliet to Romeo as she names the sweetness of her lover Romeo despite his family name of Montague. The Montagues and the Capulets are worlds apart as two warring families.
Similarly, church and society has been divided between institutional religion and newly attractive spirituality. Membership in our churches is dwindling. Yet, we hear that people are craving spirituality.
Are the two mutually exclusive?
“What’s in a name? That which we call church
by any other name, would it seem just as spiritual?”
Let’s explore what we mean by spirituality in worship this Sunday. See you there!
Shalom,
Abigail
