I have the same internal wrestling. Some days I dream of a warehouse, with walls that can be spray painted by graffiti artists according to the liturgical seasons. A place where visual artists could have full expression in worship. But most of the time, I'm really happy where I'm at. In the church with the pipe organ, stone walls, and oak pews. Because I know that's where I'm supposed to be. Do I get irritated when a near riot breaks out because we change the Advent candles from purple to blue? Well... yes. But... I guess our calls are like the Kingdom of God. A church that makes sense to us just has that "already" and "not yet" quality to them. Anyways... if you find an agent, let me know. I don't have one either. Amazing story, Leon. I have the same internal wrestling.
