The American Heresy B y

s D e a n M ilo H. Gates

F THERE is a heresy in American Christianity, I think it is the error of casualness. It is not I alone of American religious life. It is through ä out all American life. W e are a casual people, but when you bring casualness into religious life, it is a great deal more serious than it is in ordinary life. The old theory was that if the spirit happened to touch you, you were converted and saved. The modern theory is that if you happen to feel like going to church you should go, and if you happen to be attracted by a certain eloquent preacher, you should go. This is a dangerous error. Attend ance at church, listening to sermons or listening in on sermons, sharing in so-called “church work” can never take the place and can never do for you what you can do for yourself. You must accept your responsibility and by accepting it regularly and faithfully take your place in the fine army of those who come, week by week, Sunday by Sun day, to assist in the Holy Eucharist.
