We are obligated to listen to one another, and to discuss our differences across denominational lines, theological persuasions — and even across the center aisle of the sanctuary (where one
side of the church prefers Paul Tillich, the other side, Left Behind).
There will always be times when we would
prefer other modes
of expression but we need to bear in mind that the liturgy is a duty laid on us by the
Church, and not some individual devotion; we owe it to the
Church to carry it out as obediently as we can, and put our own preferences to one
side, as Newman did.
