Tuesday Overrated, Dropped From Everyday Liturgy’s Focus
For Immediate Release | Wednesday, April 1, 2009
NEWARK, NJ — Everyday Liturgy, the prophet of liturgy in an evangelical wilderness, announced today that Tuesday does not meet the standards of liturgical significance and will be dropped from coverage on Everyday Liturgy.
"The mission of Everyday Liturgy is to contribute to a liturgical understanding of the other six days during the week," said Thomas Turner, Everyday Liturgy’s founder. "But Tuesday no longer meets our standards of being a proper day, so it will be dropped from liturgical thoughts and spiritual contemplation. We are still all about liturgy "everyday," it’s just time to recognize that Tuesday is not really a day, it’s more like a time-waster. If time was a currency Tuesday would be the penny. People leave them around everywhere because they are useless."
Everyday Liturgy empasizes that they will continue to be an advocate of liturgy in all days of the week and encourages other groups to follow suit and relegate Tuesday from the calendar. "It’s not that hard," said Mr. Turner. "Pluto used to be a planet. Now it’s not. That’s because we thought it was a planet but then found out it’s just a big chunk of useless ice. Tuesday is the useless day in the solar system of our weekly calendar."
ABOUT EVERYDAY LITURGY:
At the crux of everyday life is our everyday liturgy: worldview and
worship seeking to navigate the waters between the banks of
Christianity and Life (which over time should become indistinguishable). We are a blog navigating those waters.

Maybe Tuesdays should be set aside to read my new book: Coffeeshack Theology…
*chuckle* that’s awesome
You know, when I was in banking, I tried to convince my branch manager that Tuesday wasn’t a proper day.
I’m glad that someone agrees with me at long last, though I suspect an “April Fool!” kind of thing.
You had to bring up the Pluto thing, didn’t you? I’m still bitter about that.
That’s funny about the banking bit, especially given the current economic situation. Could recession be averted if we got rid of Tuesday?
Yes this is an April Fools joke. I kind of got the idea by combining the name of the blog with the United States Post Office’s
threatproposal to not deliver mail on Tuesdays.
