Questions courtesy of the penguin-worshipping people at Beautiful Feet…

1. 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’s a really qualified question, so read it literally :-P)

I vote for the one who is the least evil in my humble opinon. (Gee… could this be a Dubya vs. most of his Democratic opponents question? Nooooooo…) Seriously, I’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.)

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’t go for women’s ordination because of exegetical hangups (Creation account, Timothy, Corinthians)?.

I still haven’t gotten that argument down well yet so I can’t tell you how I’d argue. Most of my friends who disagree with my ordination pray for discernment for me, hoping that somehow I’ll discern that the path is wrong.

3. How do you veg at home?

I crochet, pet my cats, watch “Law & Order”, do taebo, and work in my garden when it isn’t too cold. I also love to cook but don’t really have all that many people to cook for.

4. An anti-cat speech (with people burning cats in public) is going on at the same time as a Marva Dawn lecture called, “Making the Jump From Pastor’s Wife to Pastor.” They’re across town from each other. What do you do?

The anti-cat speech. Protesting cruelty to animals trumps Marva Dawn. (I’m also not incredibly fond of her anyway.)

5. You’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?

Hard question. I can either go galavant around Europe or go snorkelling and get sunburned. I’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.

If anyone wants me to ask them questions, leave me comments. If anyone wants to ask me questions, comment as well.
