Letters to the Editor: Faithful leaving

Almost 50 years ago, the late Dr Martin Luther King Jr said: “Eleven o’clock on Sunday morning is the most segregated hour of America.”
This is the same for Fiji.
Many today are worshiping ‘at the attendance altar’ by being too focused on numbers and are ‘obsessed’ with the Sunday collection.

We are not interested in shallow expressions of religion and who should be leading the spirituals among religions.
Now, some are even offering entertainment in the place of worship. Have they too lost their spiritual compass? Or is it a hard pill to swallow?
While the others seek deliverance, preachers amuse themselves with secular ideology and have terribly missed the true meaning of Sunday mass.
