The [excellent]speaker at the Adult Forum at Church Sunday said, If you want St. Mark's to die, just become an observer. Though it could be said as observing everything going on in the Parish, he was talking specifically about the Liturgy.

Why is it so difficult for the person in the pew to choose to watch the rest of the Church instead of take responsibility for their own part and part-icipate?

If one of my eyes removed itself from my body, it might observe me for a moment, not connected with my head, but it would soon die, alone; and if other parts of my body did the same, eventually my whole I would die. I grieve.
