    Reactions Please: Holy Humor Sunday

    I've never heard of that. I kind of suspect this is something that the charismatic renewal folks stumbled upon, totally misunderstood, and more than half made up in the reimplantation. I am confident that no Continuing Anglican church celebrated in that manner.

    Anyone up for a chat thread?

    I have a meeting with an Anglican chaplain in the Ohio National Guard shortly. I found out about this guy from an article he wrote for the "North American Anglican." Turns out, he lives 1 county over from me (25 miles maybe). Anyhow, we are going to the famous Tom's Ice Cream Bowl, which has...

    Church Growth Discussion

    I am more and more convinced of this, and annoyed by it. Some kind of moderately Charismatic church was having a family fun day near the Post Office I use. So I had gone down to the Post Office and my daughters asked if we could stop at the event. I agreed and we did. So they were running around...

    I learn things in unexpected places. Monday I was taking my daughters to watch "King of Kings" at our local cinema. On the way we stopped in Bojangles chicken for some lunch and there were a few Lutheran ladies also partaking of the chicken. One of them started telling me about the VBS theme...

    Today, April 25, marks 7 years since my wife died. Here she is about 4 months pregnant at my diaconal ordination, which is also near this time (April 28).

    Ask a confessional Lutheran

    I had an LCMS wedding and we did not have communion. I think, perhaps, the Gottesdienst crowd would welcome performing a funeral mass but most of the LCMS no.

    Ask a confessional Lutheran

    Confirmation without a Communion service? I haven't seen that even here in Southeast Ohio where many Lutheran churches still practice 1st Sunday monthly communion.

    No. Their closest congregation is 26 miles away.

    Christos Anesti!

    I have my older daughter do it most of the time. It's been a struggle to get her to understand what I'm looking for, which is not just any random shot from the first 5 minutes of the service.

    Wild Boar Inn

    I took my children to the Maundy Thursday service and Pr. Al was struggling a bit with the memory problems. I think he got totally lost about 10 minutes into his sermon and just decided, I'll stop here. But he broke out in song, an 83 year old man, voice cracking but singing from the heart and...

    My kids are fiending to go to another country. I can drive to Canada in 5 hours and that's cool but not exotic. I've got a health problem right now and am anticipating probably having surgery through our Veteran's Administration Health system in the next month or so. If that all reconciles well...

    One of my best friends in the area was raised Eastern Catholic. In his 20s he fell into the Charismatic movement and eventually went to a Rhema ministry school and was ordained by that Pentecostal church. He appreciates liturgy though. He mostly does Methodist services. We are the two oddballs...

    Anyone up for a chat thread?

    I recently learned there is an ACNA chap trying to launch a mission one county over from me. I've been trying to get in touch with this bloke and he won't return an email nor a phone call. He's a military chaplain though and I think I know where he works during the day. I still have a military...
