There is a tension in many of us — I call it the “Willo-palian” problem. What is it? The yearning for many of us low church types to experience a liturgical life. Many of us are not willing to go the whole way to shift into the Episcopalian Church, or (even further) move into Orthodoxy or Catholicism. But, we still love liturgy and colors and the church calendar, and we know we are missing something the church has always had at its center. So, I’ve got a book recommendation for you if you want to know what it is all about…
