Today 82% of kids are online by the seventh grade, according to the Pew Internet and American Life Project.

For now, the closest I want to get to a wedding ceremony is a distanced pew where I can check to see if Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn will randomly appear. Only when asked if I want another long island from the open bar at a friend’s upcoming nuptials will I be heard saying “I do!” anytime...
...Wineskin and other manuals, talks fondly of pilgrims who doctrinairely abjure pastors, sermons or a physical plant; feel that the "modern institutional church does not reflect the early church"; and "don't believe you are going to see the fullness of Jesus Christ expressed just sitting in a pew listening to one other member of the body of Christ talking for 45 minutes while everyone else is passive...
