This is an isolated incident, in a boring cong, with old/boring body of elders. It happens.
Not my my cong. We're always having parties, I mean there's at least once per month, some months 2 and 3 in the same month: Graduations, kid's parties, anniversaries, engagement, baby showers, parties to honor the elderly among us, wedding parties, whatever. We're one happy bunch at the Spanish congregations of Southwest Florida!
Can't fix boring! Has nothing to do with the religion itself!
