How do you balance candidates when you vote? When you have a pro-lifer who kills life by his ecological policies, how does he compare Kyoto kissing pro-choicer who thinks abortions should be available to anyone at any time of the pregnancy? (That&#8217;s a really qualified question, so read it literally :-P)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I vote for the one who is the least evil in my humble opinon.  (Gee&#8230; could this be a Dubya vs. most of his Democratic opponents question?  Nooooooo&#8230;)  Seriously, I&#8217;ve voted for the lesser of two evils in the last two elections and the more evil one has always won.  (Send all hatemail to jeniswrong at peacefulwaters dot org please.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. How would you argue for the ordination with a moderate conservative or Anglo-Catholic who allows women in non-priestly roles or as acolytes, but can&#8217;t go for women&#8217;s ordination because of exegetical hangups (Creation account, Timothy, Corinthians)?.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I still haven&#8217;t gotten that argument down well yet so I can&#8217;t tell you how I&#8217;d argue.  Most of my friends who disagree with my ordination pray for discernment for me, hoping that somehow I&#8217;ll discern that the path is wrong.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. How do you veg at home?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I <a href=\"http:\/\/www.peacefulwaters.org\/hooked\">crochet<\/a>, pet my cats, watch &#8220;Law &#038; Order&#8221;, do taebo, and work in my garden when it isn&#8217;t too cold.  I also love to cook but don&#8217;t really have all that many people to cook for.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. An anti-cat speech (with people burning cats in public) is going on at the same time as a Marva Dawn lecture called, &#8220;Making the Jump From Pastor&#8217;s Wife to Pastor.&#8221; They&#8217;re across town from each other. What do you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The anti-cat speech.  Protesting cruelty to animals trumps Marva Dawn.  (I&#8217;m also not incredibly fond of her anyway.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. You&#8217;ve won a free trip. You can go to Strassbourg, Wittenberg, Worms, and Geneva, or you could go to Hawaii, Jamaica, and the Bahamas. Which do you choose?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hard question.  I can either go galavant around Europe or go snorkelling and get sunburned.  I&#8217;d probably go with the Hawaii, Jamaica, and the Bahamas since I might do the first trip as a sabbatical someday.  Besides, the latter trip would be a break from church things which would be good for me.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone wants me to ask them questions, leave me comments.  If anyone wants to ask me questions, comment as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Questions courtesy of the penguin-worshipping people at Beautiful Feet&#8230; 1.
