JoyFaithGrace - some religious rambling

[melwil]

As some of you might might know, our church changed ministers at the end of last year. I am less than happy about the right-wing leanings of our new minister, but due to the nature of my church in my state, and my lack of transport, it's difficult to find a more liberal church. This left me pretty upset, as those of you I have ranted to would agree.

After some reflection and an inspirational talk on Thursday, I am determined to push forward with my exploration of the Bible, related religious readings, and literature about the Christian Left. To reflect and share the ideas I have about my reading, I have set up a new Live Journal: joyfaithgrace (Sorry Kate and Jac).

If you are interested, please have a look. I welcome all suggestions, ideas, recommendations and opinions that are made in a respectful way. (ie. Don't go out of your way to piss me off) I'll be talking about the Bible, religious authors, news related to religion, and snippets I find on the internet. Should be fun.

~huggles you hard~

aldenmacrae and I shall have to also convert you to Howatch-love.

It's a lousy rotten time in this church of ours, and you, unfortunately, are in a Synod that is slightly lousier than some of the others in the country.

Pity you live so far away. There is a funky looking chuirch ner my place. I'm not Christian so I havee't been but they have the most hilarious sign out the front that changes fortnightly. If the services are half as good it would be awesome. Plus the church is cute.

I wanted our church to put up a message that said 'Message Board broken. Message inside', but you had to go through about 5 people if you had a suggestion.

I really want to keep with the Uniting Church, because I like the way it works nationally, it's just Queensland that worries me.

I used to be in the Uniting church. Not sure what this cute one is. This weeks message is "Have you got a cross against your name?"

a) I love your idea, because I seriously hate message boards, because most of them are so utterly vacuous.

b) Having to go through 5 people? That's also how the UCA works. ~laughs~ But you know..., it's possible to work with.
