Teutonic Rituals in the Church

Last night, our church here in Germany, Treffpunkt C, conducted a common an old Germanic, Teutonic ritual that celebrates the esoterically geometric dynamics. It is a ritual that, if not checked, can lead to spiritual ecstasy and socially acceptable forms of histrionic personality disorder. Although there is a small segment of the Church in Europe that actively resists any participation in this ritual, many Christians actually encourage their family members to "congregate" and join in the proclamation, "Das Runde muss in das Eckige!" ("The round thingy has to go into the rectanglur one!")

Looking for a comparison in the States, I'm limited to mayhemic fever that sweeps the States in the Spring commonly known as March Madness. Here the main sport is soccer and June marks the beginning of the European Cup - an event that takes place every four years.

32 countries began battling it out this weekend. And of course Germany is competing, too. Last night they played masterfully against Poland, winning 2-0. And our church showed it on the big screen, inviting everyone one to come to a safe, clean atmosphere to enjoy the game. (Hey's it's a lot better than a sport bar!)
