Unremarkable words

The conversations that take place in the parking lot after Sunday worship
are as much a part of the formation of Christian character as the preaching
from the sanctuary pulpit. The small talk that accumulates around the ritual
of putting children to sleep for the night is as sacred as the most solemn
of eucharistic liturgies. Most of our lives, after all, are not in crisis.
We also need ways of conversing about our lives in Christ.
