Giving up

I read this today on Songbird's blog:

But Jesus tells us clearly, he has come to upset the way things have always been.
I think it might be useful for church people to think about something in our faith community on which we rely, something we love, something we would never want to see changed, and imagine life without it. How might letting go of the thing we love make us understand or serve or simply love Jesus better?
What could your church give up?
  • The attitude that the sanctuary belongs to one or two people instead of to God.
  • The idea that new church members have to be just like us.
  • The idea that music has to be sung to the organ and can only be the same as it has always been.
  • A particular seat in the sanctuary.
What would you like to see your church give up?
