Thought for 12.16.09

God did not intend the church to be the Busybody of Christ.

Did Godde intend the church as we know it?

Amen, Tobias!

I find it ironic that as we're being told in church to slow down and practice patience during Advent, many of us clergy types have scheduled all kinds of extra events (Sunday evening services, Wednesday evening events, etc.) that make everybody's calendars that much more full and hectic.

Did he intend it to be the Shinto of the Anglo-Saxons?

PsPs, yes and no.

Bryan, I meant a different kind of "Busy"; but that too.

Brad, very likely. Also the Zen of the Welsh. (R.Williams having mastered the koan.)

My goodness, Tobias! All the thinking will give you a headache. However, I must say that I like this thought.

Thanks G.M., and Erika. I guess I'm in an aphoristic mood these days, aiming for economy of words, Still percolating on the Covenant...
