Saturday, October 23, 2004 on varietySo I'll start with the generalization that all churches have little vatiety. Mine has different services from the prayer book and they are not followed rigidly, but there is a sameness to the style. And I expect that the others are much the same. Certainly the strength if Holy Tinity is the good teaching.I think as a witness to the world, we should try not to shop or work on Sunday. I said at bsf leaders meeting that a few times and the Chinese members were shocked -- Sunday seems to be for yum cha and shopping. Chinese women love shopping and getting a bargain. Nor do we usual go to a restaurant on a Sunday but we certainly go out and buy something if its necessary. If Paul Barker has an obvious fault its that he sees the Anglican church or his Anglican church as an empire. He has wanted bsf there and has he been approached at least 4 times. He wasn't helpful when I wanted to start a kyb group and we don't have outside organizations using our factilites. He has been there over 8 years. I expect other parishes are wanting him, and in the Anglican its usual for a clergy to stay no more than 10 years. There is a lot of gossip as to which clergy are 'good' -- that usualy means who can keep up the numbers and the money flow. The annual reports of each parish are published for the diocese in summary form. The clergy also gossip about parishes. We used to go to St. John's Blackburn that had a terrible reputation -- in my opinion is was a good little parish all the people wanted was good teaching and a minister who was not lazy. Now Michele how long have you been at the same church. # posted by Anonymous @ 3:23 am 0 comments
