Ed Sheeran wrote a song, Thinking Out Loud.

Just so, I’m thinking out loud.

What if church resembled an AA meeting?

• Honesty in recognizing shortcomings, no need to hide behind a cover of perfect
• Supportive community
• Guidance from a sponsor
• No shame, guilt (there’s already too much)
• Communion around a real table, not a metaphorical one

A priest with the curse of alcoholism said that he received more support and help from the AA meeting in the basement of the church than from the worshippers upstairs.

Just Thinking Our Loud.
