The Kneeling Backgrounder (prayingus warriae) is, at first glance, an unimpressive species. A master of camouflage, it blends into the background in almost any situation. Yet it possesses a powerful attack, the power of prayer. When in a kneeling position, the Backgrounder is capable of great feats.
The importance of the Backgrounder to the ecosystem of the church cannot be overstated. Though they don’t stand out among the other species, the absence of these creatures in any congregation will lead to environmental chaos.
In the proper environment, the Kneeling Backgrounder can grow in numbers and dominate their church setting. This is a healthy development which should be encouraged and cultivated. Though Backgrounders may seem unimportant their presence and activity is vital to the healthy functioning of the church ecosystem.
I am thankful for these people in our church…wishing we had more though.
Grace and peace,
Rex
