- "The choir can stand being uncomfortable for an hour, can't they?"
- "Don't turn my church into a TV studio."
- "Over my dead body." (My personal favorite)

The diocesan Liturgy Commission helps
congregations enhance their existing liturgies to make worship an
experience that positively shapes our relationship with God and with
each other.
Liturgy Commission members are willing to visit congregations, meet
with representatives to discuss liturgy possibilities and loan out a
variety of liturgical resources to help
- Make services more intelligible and welcoming to non-Episcopalians
- Encourage and affirm the ministries of laity (even children!)
- Refresh aspects of worship that may seem dull
Congregations with liturgical questions or quandaries are invited to contact
