    contemporary bibles

    At school we use NRSV, In the Parish it's either NRSV or NIV, Although occassionally I'll find a phrasing in the Message that I like, for the most part I dislike it as a paraphrase, and would stick with GoodNews ( if we're talking paraphrases , instead of translations)

    At church it's both decaf and 'high test' (free trade) At Sem, it's HIGH TEST free trade, and strong all the way !

    One this we will agree ... I answer to God alone ~ God knows my heart, and I am his humble servant. on the rest we'll choose to politely disagree.

    Female "pastors"

    I'm sorry you feel that way , and truly hope and pray in time that you will open your heart enough to see the truth. God Calls people, individuals - and feeling called, and knowing you are being called is something beyond explaination. It's not something that is made up in ones head ( if that...

    Female "pastors"

    My Hair is down to my waist, and I doubt anyone would call little 5'4 me "manly";) (Though I'm just beginning my journey - I have no desire at all to be a "little man" thank you) :crossrc:

    Female "pastors"

    I've read quite a few pages worth of Posts ( though not all) . The question that I keep coming back to is much more fundamental than " Paul says, Genesis says" ... If a woman is Called by GOD to the Priesthood ... she prays about it, and is truly being Called ~ who is she to say to God "You...

    What version of the Bible do you use?

    I use a variety of different Bibles. For personal reading I usually use NIV, which I find easiest to read aloud from, also because we use NRSV on Sundays I do read from that as well, and on occassion I will use Good News. If I'm specifically preparing for Worship it depends on what service...

    Do you call your priest "Father"?

    In the past there have been a few who I've called "Father Al , Father Tony, Father Sam" My current Priest is a woman ... she's also a very close friend , so I call her by her first name.

    making Albs

    I feel the same way ... I can sew , it's just a matter of time/versus actual money saving - often times it cost more to actaully make it yourself now. The only reason I'm looking into making Albs ( and eventually other vestments) is because the price of the really nice ones are ... umm insane...

    making Albs

    Thanks for the tips, I'm not a huge fan of the Broadcloth, it's thin ( meaning more translusent than I'd like) which means I end up wearing beige top/pants under it. The main reason for the Broad cloth was a time issue ( I needed something lightweight before Pentecost, which meant something...

    making Albs

    I couldn't figure out where the best place to ask this was so... Has anyone made their own Albs,? and if so do you have a pattern you like (which is available). I'm 5'4" and small framed - I just picked up a broadcloth Alb ( we don't have air conditioning in the Church, so I need something...

    How late for church?

    gtsecc, I really hope you don't truly mean either of those last posts the way they sound ... because it sounds as if you're saying if you're not on time, you're not welcome in God's House. Do I think it's important to arrive on time YES, do I think that anyone should at ANY time feel unwelcome...

    How late for church?

    I'd rather people came in late, than stayed home ... from time to time life WILL happen and people will be late - whether it's traffic, getting the kids organized, just having trouble getting ready. We have alot of older people in our Church, and honestly, I'd rather they felt they could come...

    President's Choice Financial

    I've had an account and a mastercard thru them for a number of years, and for the most part I've been very happy with it - not to mention that since I shop at Supervalu all the time, I get free groceries quite often which is nice ... The PC points can also be exchanged to or from Petro...

    How are you being counted?

    I filled mine out online - it automatically eliminates the questions that aren't relevant, and although the site is a bit slow ... it was still much faster than filling it out, and walking it to the mail box !
