Lacunae

When my friend asks “why can’t the church be more like AA?” he wants a place that doesn’t need all the overhead the church has. AA runs by borrowing space and needing just someone to organize and govern the meeting and a pot of coffee. The rules and rituals of the Big Book and other traditions govern and the thing moves forward. And it works if you work the program as he keeps telling me.

Excellent article by Paul Vander Klay. I've been trying to articulate this for months. Thanks, Paul!
