Getting the Message
In some liturgical churches, each service begins with a greeting. The officiating clergyman says, “The Lord be with you.” And the congregation used to respond, “And with thy spirit.” But, with the modernising of the liturgy, the response is now, “The Lord be with
you.” and everyone says, “And also with you.”
There is the story of the visiting bishop who went to such a church where the sound system was old and unreliable. He went to the microphone and tapped it several times and finally said, “There’s something wrong with this!” and the whole congregation answered,
“And also with you.”
