Rev. Winzer, I guess that I don't understand the response. Wouldn't such a liturgy promote talking about the things of God?
It promotes mindless religious action and quenches spontaneous, interested conversation.
I agree, you have an opportunity for open discussion in a family that you do not really have in any other sphere, you can actually talk personally and directly to every member with a real knowledge of each parties condition and concerns. In some ways a liturgy is useful precisely because you do not have this advantages in a church services.
