THE FIVE HUNDRED YEAR QUESTION

The following I didn't write. It is written by Makoto Fujimura an artist who is a committed believer and I find his writings compelling from several directions. He doesn’t approach things like the writers I am accustomed to. He makes me think in ways I am not accustomed to thinking. A lot of people don't like that but I find it refreshing. As I reread this piece today I began to think of the same concept (the Five Hundred Year Question) in regards to worship. Is there any worship out there today that will still be sung in 500 years? Or have we succumbed to the Worholian concept of getting our “15 seconds of fame”?

Enjoy.
