Veiled Worship

I'm back from Kerala. Why God gave Kerala such beauty I don't know.
Now from the wonderful Ben Myers we have this article which starts of with what could be female pornographer's fantasy and moves on to contemporary worship.

"Perhaps all this can serve as a parable for the contemporary preference for experiential worship styles. Where every church service becomes the opportunity for a life-changing experience of the divine presence; where every song and sermon and prayer is designed to produce immediate emotional impact; where the whole Christian life is transformed into the pursuit of a “naked” experience of the divine – here, the final outcome can only be a profound and paralysing boredom. And for those subjected to such boredom, the only remaining spiritual desire is for a mysterious God, a God not merely naked and exposed, but clothed in ritual, sacrament, tradition."
