Words gone awry

I've been thinking about this, and at the risk of sounding like a complete moron, I'd like to share it with you:

How do you feel about reclaiming the semantic nuances of the Christian faith? First matter of agenda: "We're going to church" should be replaced with something that bears even a minute resemblance to what a "church" actually is. Remove indefinite article "a" and replace with "the", and capitalize said object in most instances, because individual streams or expressions can barely comprise an such an ancient and venerable network of bodies.

Progressive pastor here in the Cities calls his Sunday services "seminars". Get my drift?

Am I way out of line here?

“Were going to church”


Perhaps it is better stated as “We are being the church!”

It might help those who state “shut the hell up, were going to church”
