Fusions

I had a dream a couple of nights ago, and have been thinking a lot about it since. I dreamt that some friends of ours, who we hadn't seen for some time, phoned us up all excited about this new church they were going to. It was a church for believers and unbelievers.

A bizarre mixture of members included aetheists, agnostics, christians, artists, and a sprinkling of the beautiful people and the undesireables.

They all sang with one voice. Like the two trees in the picture fused as one.

They fused songs together - like Del Amitri's "Nothing ever happens", with REM's "Everybody Hurts" (a song which I'm sure was written by God himself to us all, Stype merely acting as amanuensis)

Sinead O'Connor's "Thank you for hearing me":

Thank you for breaking my heart
Thank you for tearing me apart
Now I've a strong strong heart
Thank you for breaking my heart

with Mindy Smith's "Come to Jesus":

Worry not my daughter, worry not my son,
Child, when life don't seem worth livin'
Come to Jesus, let him hold you in his arms


In order to belong to this church, however, there was a pre-requisite - an open mind - or a willingness to develop one.

I wonder what liturgical framework could serve such a church? Like, how would they do the creed?

Some of us believe in God the father, the Lord the giver of life...
Others of us are still trying to work it all out...
