after the monthly meeting of the louisiana ministerial alliance i am usually ready to shove ecumenism out into the mississippi river. oh my lord these people are picky, critical, and ALL know everything.
today i was on the verge of reminding them that "in fact we are not on staff with eachother, nor were we called by God to this place to be on staff together... so get off my back."
the way it seems to work in our small town, is that we do everything together. the list includes: baccalaureate, pentecost, palm sunday, maundy thursday, easter sunrise, national day of prayer, world day of prayer, blessing of the animals, world communion, vacation bible school, youth group, mission outreach, thanksgiving. it is all just too much.
only by the grace of God, i am president of the august body of clergy so as to keep said meetings moving. alas.
may it be noted, i find it interesting that it is not our polity that is the problem. humm...
there, i have vented. much better now.

Hmmm... I often want to shove ecumenism other places. Hadn't considered the Mississippi...
funny. i say the mississippi because "the alliance," as i like to call it, meets at the senior center right next to the river. so, in the midst of the insanity i often "checkout" by looking at the river...or imagine who is going swimming next!
now, now, friend. we all know that ecumenism transcends our human-ness. we are one, whether we realize it or not.
and, if you want to shove some ministers into the river....let me send you some.
