performative church
Aug. 21st, 2006 07:51 pmYou know, I've always objected to those churches where worship becomes a performance.
Now I realise I'm in one.
It's not that Curtis is an attention-seeking singer- quite the opposite! He skulks about in the back with his microphone where no one can see him. Nor are Ashwin and Steve particularly attention-seeking pianists.
The performance on show at Ultimo evening service is me, the clown act on the overhead projector. People seem to think it's a good idea to watch me, and they seem to find it funny when they do. I don't think this is necessarily a good thing.
