Traditional church worship is in the past. People (the church congregants) look to worship for reflection, entertainment and action. Ecumenical clusters of action appear in times of disaster or to address needs like hunger, housing refugees and so forth. A desire for action can also lead to political engagement. But there is also dilution of action because in some Christian denominations every member of a church is his or her own minister—for it is thought that the gospel speaks differently to each person. It used to be that church attendance and the sanctity of Sunday as a day of rest was America’s cultural norm. That norm has been abandoned. We may be headed for authoritarian rule in America but it’s not because of some ministers here and there being the cause. Our choices of governance and understanding of each other comes from something external to Christian theology.
