Another Chicago Cubs Analogy …
My family and I are life-long die-hard Chicago Cub fans. Yes, this means we are longsuffering and have endured more than our share of disappointment over the years. We all hope this year will be different. An analogy occurred to me that ties directly to the PC(USA) situation we face today.
When we lived in Dallas, Texas, we had several acquaintances who played for the Cubs at one time or another, and they used to give us complimentary tickets whenever the Cubs were in Houston.
The management at the Astrodome had the right idea (at least as far as Astros fans were concerned). Rather than have a dedicated section for the visiting team’s guests, they would spread the complimentary ticket-holders all around the stadium. They never seated more than about four Cub fans together any of the times we were there, even when they were in the same party and picked up their tickets at the same time. There may have been hundreds of Cub fans there, but their voices could not unite in cheering for their team.
This reminds me of the disparate renewal groups in the Presbyterian Church today. We don’t speak with a single voice, but are scattered all over the stadium where our voices are lost in the vastness of it all. What if we were to unite and cheer as one voice? Wouldn’t they have to listen to us? Wouldn’t it give our “team” the added momentum we need to win the game?
Good analogy.

This is a good analogy. As the old saying goes, “If we don’t hang together, we will all hang separately.” A bit morbid, but to the point.
