Two Liturgies for Today:

One liturgy took place in a church building;
The other could be viewed from afar via satellite and cable media feed.

One liturgy had 150 people present, in one room, to give witness;
The other had millions of spectators in every corner of the world.

One liturgy had simple words, water and candles, bread and wine.
The other had a gargantuan stadium, hi tech glitz, celebrities and fighter planes.

One liturgy had us following a cross;
The other featured people chasing a bouncing ball.

One liturgy crowned new "world champions" for a year.
The other sealed one, new Christian for all eternity...
