God is in the House

why go to church?

It’s when I’m in a church that doesn’t know what it wants to do, where all my skepticism about whether God exists or, “What the hell am I doing in this place,” and all of that sort of stuff comes rushing in.

Christopher+ and I discuss the movement of the liturgy, the crucial difference between beauty and excellence, and why we need “spirituality with rigor.” You can find the Nick Cave On Being interview here.

As you’ll no doubt notice, I wasn’t feeling particularly well that night and my thoughts weren’t nearly as sharp or quick as I’d have liked, but Christopher was gracious and I trust you’ll still find some good in our chat.
