Wow! You too!
I was at a dog trial last weekend over an hour from home, which meant that in order to meet my Sunday obligation I had to attend a church about 2 miles from the show venue.
The place was NUTTY! The architecture was that bizarre modern "church in the round" stuff, the music was ultra-modern Haugen/Haas repetitive nonsense, the priest acted more like an MC at a game show -- eek.
And to think that I'll pretty much HAVE to attend there whenever we have a two day dog trial . . . well, I guess it's my cross to bear. At least the dog gets to stay in the parking lot, she would howl if she had to listen to that music . . .
Yep, I know exactly what you feel! I dread traveling because unless I've heard from someone about good and bad parishes in an area, I have to hope that what I read on their web sites is an indication of their "kosherness." Unfortunately, that isn't always the case. Unless I know otherwise, I've decided when I travel from now on, that as much as I can, if there is an Anglican-Use parish or Eastern Rite Catholic parish within a 45-60 minute drive from where I'm going, that I will attend them.
Your dog is blessed in not having to hear the schlock, the poor thing would probably get so upset she'd shed all her fur!
