maj, which Michael were you referring to, Moore??!?!?
St. Michael Jordan, "Mikey, he likes it!", San Miguel de Allende, or the one with all the angels, which?
Which one were they referring to when they began to use this expression, I wonder? You must know.

This post was fascinating I found. There is of course lite and lite.
I don't attend church often. But a few months ago my children were christened at a church where the priest is an avid sponsor of the arts and had often enlisted my other half to make works and to teach children. So I guess we are part of the wider congregation of that church. It has a wonderfully inclusive atmosphere.
We so enjoyed that church when we went because it combined a kind and caring environment with high church - all the smells and bells.

If you weren't cantankerous you'd be dead; so much for THAT!
Remember, I'm not religious or "spitirual". But I feel we are not "losing God" (I'm not quoting anyone consciously, just setting a concept up)with today's "lite" religion, but we are losing the culture and the complexity/texture of the historic religions. I think any religion easily gained but not easily lost is superstition, and when it is readily gained/lost, it is fairytales. When it is excruciatingly won and defended to the death, it is fanaticism. The zone where religion is a "good thing", in my humble opinion, is thin and sinuous and managed best by those raised and trained in it's richness and not its power.
I'm confused.
