Naps and Free Meals

Posted on by

After I got offline earlier, I curled up with Jon and took a nap. He woke me up at 5:30 so I could get ready for the dinner tonight. He declined to attend because he wasn’t feeling good. My nap however was fabulous and I would have continued it if I hadn’t had to be the AV diva tonight.

Dinner was pasta, baked potatoes, bread (lots of carbs), some really icky green beans, salad, and cookies. It was the Board of Directors dinner but I mainly socialized with Nik, Whitney, Chris, and Jennifer. We had a lovely time talking and then we heard from Dr. Childs who is heading up the ELCA Sexuality Study. It was interesting and not a load of propaganda like I expected it to be.

Survey
OK… tallies as of 9:45 pm EST are….
A: 2
B: 1
C: 10

Thank you all who are sending me commentary. It’s a good thing to receive and it shows me who I’m addressing when I become a pastor one of these days. 🙂

Regression and Survey Questions

Posted on by

This morning, I went to the local Episcopal church (St. Alban’s) with one of my classmates and it was a lovely service — almost enough to make me want to regress except that I really don’t like the politics in the ECUSA. The hymns were all familiar and the liturgy was the same one I said for 5 years when I attended in high school and college. The sermon was OK (there are some really good Episcopal preachers I know but I don’t find many) and the choir was heavenly. It was also nice to have the wafers again instead of the nasty crumbly bread that we get during Eucharist at school.

Survey
So far, my survey has yielded the following results:
A (traditional): 1
B (contemporary): 1
C (mixture of the two): 8
Thanks to those of you who returned your answers already. It is really helping me with my paper!

My answer to the questions would be C. I love both traditional and contemporary when they are done well. I intensely dislike a lot of the contemporary services I attend because they are either lifeless or they’re merely entertainment.
