“When we lose the expectation that we might meet God when we gather, our worship is inevitably diminished and we can begin to see the weekly gathering as an obligation to be attended out of a sense of duty or a habit we’ve got into rather than something in which we participate with great anticipation,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
“I visited a small parish church and noticed during the service a small girl in the fourth row who seemed captivated by all that was going on…as I stood at the door greeting people as they left, I was introduced to the young girl by her granny. ‘Louise,’ she said, ‘this is the Archbishop.’ She looked completely crestfallen. She looked at me and then looked at her granny and said, ‘Oh. I thought he was God.’ I wonder when was the last time you arrived at church expecting to see God,” says Archbishop Jeremy Greaves
