Welcome to the Realm™ - Version 5.0...
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________





Today was my first Sunday at a new church, and it really was an amazing Sunday. No one fell asleep during the sermon, and I did not spill the wine during communion.

In truth, the folks at St Luke Lutheran Church are a wonderful bunch, and I look forward to serving my Lord there for many years to come.

  1. Congratulations, Vicar Hey, You! (grin)

    Give ’em a couple of weeks to start the back-biting. Evidently, it’s a gradual process.

    I’ve heard one experienced pastor say that getting a bad congregation out of the way early in your career is the best way to do it.

    HDD,

    The “discussions” have already begun, but not internally. I am blessed to be serving a congregation in which I am the uneducated boob. Yesterday we had about 33 in attendance, and among those 33 were at least 4 PHds, and they are recognized performers in their fields. That type of individual has far more productive things to do than to engage in “backbiting”.

    Interestingly enough, among our members is a Nobel Laureate, and he received his back when one had to actually earn it.

    The current controversy is coming from some other congregations who believe that we are a bunch of dangerous heretics. It will sort itself out, but unfortunately it won’t happen before some innocent folks get hurt.

    Please keep the situation in your prayers.
