Room For All

[Mrs.Anteater]

German "Erntedank" is not an official holiday, just a church event , and was on October 1 st.

 

[Tabitha]

My bad-your information is more accurate Kay.

 

[KayTheCurler]

Sorry Tabitha - I didn't mean to make you feel 'bad'. Nothing you said was glaringly 'wrong'. Traditions in the UK vary a lot from home to home, region to region, and between income levels too. That applies to all the holidays and much of the special food people hold dear.

 

[Tabitha]

Just an expression Kay. I didn't really feel bad. It's the same as saying "I stand corrected". No worries.

LLWL interview process yesterday was welcoming, informative, provided challenges, but didn't make us feel like second-class citizens in the church community. Wonderful! Pre-interview angst provided some interesting nightmares. Slept well last night though. At one point early on in the interview, I disagreed with one of the interviewers who placed a quality on me that I didn't agree with. I was respectful, and she then re-worded her point, realizing it had come off in a way other than she had intended.

 

[Hilary]

The LLWL course hasn't been offered in my Conference for years now. I'll be first on board the next time it runs!

 

[Nancy]

It won't be offered here any more either. Apparently, there is an on-line version of it that people are taking.

 

[Hilary]

I just googled the online version and it looks like that's what's going to work for me. More research required, but thanks for setting me on the right track, Nancy!

 

[Jaebius]

"LLWL?"

 

[Nancy]

Licensed Lay Worship Leader... a United Church thing.

 

[Pinga]

It will be offered at Five Oaks as for some physical place combined with community learning is important.

 

[Nancy]

I agree Pinga. My learning experience was great...still feel a connection with the other participants, even though we don't see each other that often.

 

[Jaebius]

Licensed Lay Worship Leader... a United Church thing.

Thank you Nancy. I may go for that at some point so that I can lead worship in the UCCanada.

 

[Luce NDs]

Ah the conversion effort is about to approach ...

 

[Mendalla]

It will be offered at Five Oaks as for some physical place combined with community learning is important.

So a residential course over a few days or weekend sort of thing? I like that approach. This strikes me as the sort of training that would benefit from it.

 

[Jaebius]

Ah the conversion effort is about to approach ...

Conversion of what?

 

[Luce NDs]

Would one condemning the UCC and then wishing to preach there have an unconscious desire?

Oh well ... some say ignorance is best!

I don't know Luce. Why do you ask? I don't condemn the UCC. I have been a member and an adherent in UCC congregations.

 

[Luce NDs]

Yhe love of God and other things did give us a means of loosing it ... thus we forget as the lest of vite ... tis a obscure/occult ole thing ... the bible say formless and dark in the beginning ... some evolve the ole into auld and it becomes like a tunnel or vortex in the mind ... a tree like metaphor ...

 

[Luce NDs]

Do you listen to yourself and what you say in the past ... or does it just drop out? You've strongly hinted these people are going to hell without a spark ...
