WOWAW 24: “You’d think we might feel a little shocked ...”

This week’s Words Of Wisdom About Worship:

I’m startled by the form of [some] manger scenes, but never the content. The content is always so entirely predictable—who’s there, where they’ll stand, what they’ll be doing. I’m not sure how it happens that something so full of wild content ends up seeming year after year so unsurprising, so nearly mundane. This is the story about God made flesh in the womb of Mary, God born into the world, as a baby, through the birth canal, in a barn. You’d think we might feel a little shocked every time we encounter it.

-Debbie Blue, Sensual Orthodoxy, p. 17
