Yes, they do, MCAB. There is a woman in my church who is a training deaconess via distance learning. I don't know any details, sorry. :)

No, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of England (ELCE) is and there is a seminary in Cambridge. Their website: ELCE

Hiya. I just came to CF to feed my cat, but I'm happy to see someone else has been in the kitchen recently. :)

Isn't the quiet of the country great, Lambie? Nick and I went round and round about being too remote, because I've lived in almost isolated locations and I refused to do it again, but I love being away from the noise and lights of town. We're just outside the city limits in a little known...

I started with a Netti Pot, but now use a sinus rinse/flush bottle (found at Wal-Mart, etc.) to get it over with quickly and get more bad stuff out. It does help if you're in a polluted area or if you have sinus issues, but I don't use mine every day.

Ha! I didn't think we'd bother with FAFSA until we saw on campus housing costs for fall!!!! Audra signed up for their review this week just in case those scholarships don't come through. Fun, isn't it? ^_^ I was listening to the show, but not really watching it. Hopefully, it will be on in...

Yes, Lambie, I do feel guilty for not being there, even though I know it's not logical. That's what grief does, I suppose. Thank you for the kind words. :) She is indeed with Jesus and He has finally healed her as she said He would. That is very comforting. Filo, your words are, of course...

My grandmother has died. It's been less than 24 hours, but within the week or two the doctor said was most likely when she fell ill. We couldn't be there nor can be make it in time for the funeral this weekend. :( Don't get me wrong, she was 3 months shy of 102 years old and the whole family...

:( Becks, this is just so wrong and I doubt it's only about the music. Growing up in a small congregation, we were at the mercy of volunteer organists and there plenty of missed or wrong notes and other mistakes, but we just smiled and carried on. If anyone ever complained, I was oblivious to...

Praise the Lord! :thumbsup: I can only imagine how excited you must be. :clap:

Ah, the trappings of equating a holy vessel with divinity. It's almost as if Mary is held up as being less human than Christ by some, which is utter and complete nonsense.

Skittles

What's next for you, Mel? Besides the wedding, of course. Congrats, Tang!!! We must be a bunch of gluttons for punishment. ;) I have another 1 1/2 years to finish my BS in ICT, but I'm already looking forward to the two years beyond that to specialize in networking.

That's terrible.

:o Surely not, Mel. Are there bad feelings because of wedding plans? If it's more than that, I can't imagine how awful that could potentially be for you guys. :pray:
