Sure would be cool if in the fullness of time God put all things in subjection under God’s Christ. πŸ“•

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour,
But heaven knows I’m miserable know
I was looking for a job and then I found a job,
And heaven knows I’m miserable know

In theory, I agree. But in practice, mashed potatoes combine with the gravy to make a delicious slurry.

One question we did get was, if we baptize in a swimming pool does that make the whole swimming pool holy water? And if so, for how long?

I’m surprised my liturgy professor hasn’t been asked this question yet.

The Episcopal Diocese of Missouri had its convention at a large Methodist church in Manchester, Missouri with the name Manchester United Methodist Church.

Not clear if Pastors Cantona and Giggs were there at the time.

It’s always important to discern the Body of Christ but if hangups about your own individual conduct frequently prevent you from communing with your worshiping community then you’re sort of missing the point of communion.

The peace is an essential element of the rite but we need better teaching around what it is. We’re following Paul’s instruction to greet with a holy kiss, and Jesus’ to reconcile to our siblings before making an offering.

It’s not a half-time chinwag or coffee hour part 1, which I see often.

I come away convinced that if presbyters can baptize and celebrate eucharist as vicars of the bishop, they should be able to confer the gifts of the Spirit through the laying of hands at baptism. (A mature profession of faith later is still a good thing.)

I hope we re-open this discussion.

Just wrapped up a paper (which I wish I could make into a thesis) on The Episcopal Church dropping the requirement for confirmation to receive communion.

My research made me sad that we didn't adopt the recommendations for Prayer Book Studies 18 to unify baptism, laying of hands & eucharist. πŸ“•
