You are welcome. We had a lively discussion on Chapter 2 in your book this morning during Sunday school. We are enjoying it.

Chris: I am grateful to you for many things, especially your pastoral care with our family over the last several years. Thanks for posting this, as well.

My dorm mates in college thought I was a ‘holy roller.’ When I told a friend that, he said, “But Chris, you’re just a quiet Presbyterian.” People will think what they think. Good to know you get lost in liturgy.

…i love the Bonhoeffer quote Chris…the deacon at the Orthodox church i frequent recently confided with me that some of the parishners thought that i might be Hindu because i sometimes lift my hands midway while intently lost the liturgy or chanting of the psalms..lol…

…be careful Chris!,dont wear cologne or bathe with smelly soap during your stay,the bedbugs will think its a Feast Day!…PS: if you get any of that homeless(smell) on you it tends to linger for several days but eventually it will dissipate……….oh yeah..avoid eye contact with the ‘rough’ ones and take a lot of $1′s….

A church full of the poor and homeless — that would take some getting used to. In my congregation we are more accustomed to serving the poor than living and sharing life with the poor. When I sleep at the homeless shelter, as I will in a couple of weeks, I am grateful not to have to sleep there permanently. There are class divisions there that are scary to bridge.

“Numbers do measure something… vitality, energy. Numbers are not unimportant” …..from the religious man’s Organizational imperative this is true..and we should even go a step further and acknowledge with full disclosure that the “Quality” of the individuals that makeup the numbers is just as important..afterall who wants a church full of low class and homeless people…
