Church shopping

"Church shopping has been rightfully attacked as a consumerist, individualistic approach to faith—as a shopper, I do what 'works for me' on a Sunday morning, and I can change churches as fast as my preferences change. All the same, we’ve nearly all done it to some degree or another," writes Amy Frykholm on Theolog, the blog of The Christian Century.

Asheville has a dozen Episcopal churches and as a retired priest I have visited most of them, as well as several non-Episcopal churches. I worship most Sundays with the ministry with the street people and with the people at a small neighborhood church nearby, but when I feel the need for a particular kind of service I know where to find it. Some retired and non-parochial clergy find it easier than others to find a place in the pew.
