@jonah When I started ministry among the poor and homeless I was told to use modern language and the NLT. Time and time again my readers were coming up with worn copies of the KJV.

@ReaderJohn @jonah Yeah. It’s interesting on reflection. I’d have zero issue theologically in an Eastern context. But, you’d have to pry my prayerbook from my cold, dead hands! — Similar with Rome. I could theologically be a (not very good) Roman Catholic. But, I just can’t affirm the innovations in the magisterium or recognize the bishop of Rome as supreme and I see no reason to modify or “correct” my liturgy that’s much older than the 1960s.
