Ragan, this is superb! And I’d take things one step farther and say that the hairshirt metaphor applies not only to the church’s worship gatherings, but also to the church as community throughout the week, in all our efforts to embody Christ together… Thanks!!!

Thank you, Chris! And yes, a good point. The hairshirt is an everyday church garment, not just a Sunday morning worship one.
