The last church I pastored (was interim for 3 years) was a Mennonite church. I loved those people to pieces. <BR/><BR/>It is sad that we have to "settle" for chatter and superficiality in family. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you survived...perhaps tomorrow will present opportunities to thrive!<BR/><BR/>hugs.daisymariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16335423179107661562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9520508.post-74405655473020104712007-12-29T22:25:00.000-07:002007-12-29T22:25:00.000-07:00Wow, head coverings and beards, that's pretty seri...Wow, head coverings and beards, that's pretty serious Mennonite, huh? Sounds almost Hutterite-ish. I can imagine where there could be some gap in the relate-ability factor. <BR/><BR/>I have a friend from a Mennonite background who was obviously uncomfortable when I mentioned Brennan Manning. She was totally hung up on the fact that he was a Catholic priest and "don't they have all those rituals". It's hard to shake a lifetime of programming and cut to what is really important. I know 'cause I got my own programming to contend with, eh?<BR/>MichAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9520508.post-29564681359532233812007-12-29T21:28:00.000-07:002007-12-29T21:28:00.000-07:00Some people say blood is thicker than water but I ...Some people say blood is thicker than water but I think family is about much more than blood and holiday gatherings seem to bear that out.owenswainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00540186205959897960noreply@blogger.com
