I, of course, can't speak for you, but I always find myself asking God why he has sent me to the ECUSA, but I keep getting back a clear message. I am where I need to be. Hope it is the same for you...<br /><br />Grace and Peace...The Archer of the Foresthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03075768526819990250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-1098821864288279782004-10-26T16:17:00.000-04:002004-10-26T16:17:00.000-04:00Thanks for the encouragement, guys.
Actually, Ric...Thanks for the encouragement, guys.<br /><br />Actually, Rick, that's something that bugs me. I'm not bummed out by an overarching institution, but the men and women that I can see and touch and attempt to look in the eye. They don't meet my gaze for very long. It's about the people themselves, either good or bad, and not about the statements of big dumb prelates or even the smart ones. <br /><br />Not a question of "these are nice people, but I can't be in a church with them," but rather, "I can't even have a cup of coffee with them (and no longer wish to), so why am I sharing the Eucharist with them?"<br /><br />I said, "Kyle, it's about the people." And that it is, may God have mercy on us all.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14641068117855718120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-1098802243715458952004-10-26T10:50:00.000-04:002004-10-26T10:50:00.000-04:00Hey bro,

I find myself wondering every day what I am doing. :) I am in my last year of seminary, getting ready for the GOE's and wondering what in the world I am doing in this institution.<br /><br />Peace... and thanks for sharing.<br /><br />RickNew Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328837865727756374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4009348.post-1098801125515447872004-10-26T10:32:00.000-04:002004-10-26T10:32:00.000-04:00Ah, there's always a point in these little experim...Ah, there's always a point in these little experiments - even if it's more about learning "what not" than "what." You know you're not alone in this new journey man. Peace and Grace to you.+ Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284165373991543203noreply@blogger.com
