Bruxy Cavey in Calgary
My buddy Nick did a good review of Bruxy Cavey from The Meeting House who came to Calgary to talk about his book The End of Religion.
I really appreciated this quote from Nick,
“The best thing he said, and I paraphrase, was that we are a peculiar people. We gather every week to remember that it is not a weekly gathering that defines us. We read the scriptures and they tell us that simply reading and studying the scriptures don’t makes us who we are. We sing songs of worship, which refresh us with the knowledge that singing songs of worship isn’t what this thing is all about. He also, in Peter Rollins’ style, pointed out the great irony in the church being the institution that has preserved and transmitted the very scriptures that insist an institutional church never have our ultimate allegiance.”
Great words. I hope Bruxy makes his way out here to Vancouver.
