Why go to church?
It's really a mystery...
In her book, Dakota: A Spiritual Geography, Kathleen Norris calls communal worship a "wonder":
"the land of western Dakota ... has taught me that communal worship is something I need; ... it is an experience, not a philosophy or even theology... It seems a wonder to me that in our dull little town we can gather together to sing some great hymns, reflect on our lives, hear some astonishing scriptures (and maybe a boring sermon; you take your chances), offer some prayers and receive a blessing."
