In response to Brian Cunnington's reflective exercise: "If Christ were to send a letter to your local church...how do you think your church might respond to such a letter?"
In order of what I'd think most likely:
1. Mark the envelope 'Return to Sender'.
2. Mark the envelope 'No longer at this address'.
3. Do a handwriting analysis and render its content heresy because it's divisive and not what the pastor's preaching.
4. Burn it at the church reunion campfire while singing Kumbaya and consoling ourselves in the re-telling of our church's wondrous inception.
5. Read and conclude that it had been a bad day for Jesus and we were bearing the brunt of misplaced anger really meant for liberal churches and others outside the true faith.
6. Be really shaken and plead to be restored to our first love, even if we had to be dismantled myth by myth, stone by stone, dollar by dollar, idol by idol...
