Mike Yaconelli, Messy Spirituality

Threaten others with a loud and boisterous faith, and you will be politely (at first) asked to quiet down; dance you faith instead of sitting still in your pew, and you will be asked to leave; talk about your faith with passion, and you will get expressions of concern about the inappropriateness of your emotions. Allow others to see your brokenness, and you will be reprimanded for being too open; hear the music of faith, and you will be warned of the danger of emotional instability. (40-41)
