I do agree with this. Our liturgies are clerical/professional enough and need 
the participation of all. Yes there are the layfolk in the sanctuary 
assisting, but in a way that makes it look more clerical. We need more vocal 
participation by all. And more movement, but that's another question.

What do you say to Jesus when he comes again?
Where have you been? You said you were coming right back.
