with self-congratulatory smiles and nods
they do fund-raising and call it
stewardship
movers and shakers, change agents
visionaries cast their dreams
before the unenlightened
kingdom builders glossy
packaging for the Lord amen
these are those who are in the know
self-congratulatory smiles and nods
of approval, knowing looks
exciting ideas to offer the
lesser duller ones
the backward facing, the uninspired
plans and techniques to get it done
incorrigible advice givers
build the kingdom

Nice.
It is troublesome-- the attitude we project can speak millions about what we really think of the pew-sitters. One has to wonder how that affects them. Or maybe they just don't give a crap.
There seems to me to be a smugness and an arrogance, especially around the freedom with which they seem to give advice. Did I ask for your input? no. Why do you feel compelled to tell me what I could do with this space or with that resource? Aw well. I'm probably too sensitive. The world is full of idiots who don't know they are. As my dad used to say, "Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of stupidity."
