Dancing like David before the ark, carried away by their love for God? Or a couple of ageing twerps making asses of themselves in their desperation to appear with-it? You decide:
Susan definitely has one up on Fred in the rhythm – and bumping – department.
Aw, they were just having a bit of fun.
If this is how the ACoC is trying to appeal to the teens and 20 somethings than it is truly a very sad state of affairs.
In the meantime, let us hope and pray that neither of them appear on “dancing with the stars”, or “you think you can dance”.
AMP you are dead wrong. If celebrating with 800 young people isn’t cause for delight – let alone one’s who are interested in matters of faith – then I don’t know what is.
You know what AMP? I think if Fred Hiltz learned to dance on the head of pin you would fail to be impressed.
You are a natural born critic.
I hate to say it but this is the kind of church outreach that actually reaches our youth. Look at the reaction from the kids! In my experience, youth work is most effective when its 80% fun.
Where I’m sure to disagree is with the ACoC’s 20% that marginalizes scripture and tradition.
Bishop Johnson also has an annoying habit of trying to be comical or wisecracking when it is sometimes not called for. I must say this about her though; she dances better than she cracks jokes, which may give you some idea as to how funny she actually is.
The last time I saw Lutheran clergy “dancing” at an event was when some of the women pastors tried liturgical dance at a conference. Try, if you can without vomiting, to imagine middle-aged divorced women with eating disorders in tights moving like jello stuffed in nylon to New-Age music.
