to be or not to be perfect

that is the question for me most often of late. When I prepare a theatre production I prepare it for perfection. No two shows are ever the same, but people are rehearsed, transitions are practiced and tweaked, sound, lights and set are designed specifically for the production at hand. The director has the final say and responsibility for perfection. Church is not like this. Sunday morning worship led and designed by the people is not like this. My instinct wants it to be. I want people to be rehearsed, transitions to be practices, sets, lights and sound to be designed specifically for each Sunday. But its not. Is this why there is more grace in church then in the theatre? Should worship be perfect or should worship be the constant reminder that it tends to be that we are all still human. And all the glory we bring to God in our spotlight hour each week is beautiful and perfect in God's knowing even if its not up to my aesthetic standards. What exactly are we offering on Sunday morning? 1 hour of flawless entertainment with a message that hopefully moves you? 1 hour of imperfect praise for a perfect God who loves us in our imperfection? 1 hour of already over rehearsed, over analyzed, over scheduled sabbath time that could happen even more powerfully where 2 or more are gathered in God's name with no agenda?
