Not sure if that addresses what you said. I think Protestants need to revive the office of “Doctor of the Church” for theologians who serve the church in an official capacity.

They are also amongst the most liberal, women-ordaining, Scripture denying folks out there. I wish I could attend one, but there is no way I could.

Did he let you "Amen"? :) I like the involvement that you see in the black tradition too. Like anything in the Christian life, I think that it can become ritualized as opposed to heartfelt or about the glory of God, and I thought that Thabiti Anyabwile had some good observations on this: http://endued.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/expositional-preaching-crosses-cultural-boundaries/. When it reflects a genuine understanding brought to the heart and mind, I'm all for it. Mimi,

It's hard not to think that others are not 'into it' if they are not apparently engaged. We must guard from that. Yes, I know. One doesn't have to be jumping and shouting to be sincere in worship. I don't know, I'm no preacher but I must say there's got to be a definite sense of joy and motivation in a preacher's heart when a his sermon is so bold and truthful that it inspires his sheep to proclaim a 'hallelujah' or 'amen' more than once in a while. I've actually asked Rick if it was okay for me to yell out 'amen' during church.

Sometimes we learn from our mistakes -- in this case the shallowness of grasping for a Starbucks card in a church context.
