I wish we had a separate "church life" section -- but anyway:

Youth Aren't the Future of the Church
Posted on: 09/04/2009 16:14
I was intrigued by something a friend of mine wrote to the new Moderator:
"The youth aren't the future of the church.
We are the present."
What are the implications this holds for the church?

Some thing Wonderful Happen in Church today
Posted on: 08/23/2009 15:12
I arrived a few minutes late to church. I had miss placed my iPod touch, and was looking for it before I left. (As I use it to follow along the church service).and I have been having trouble sleeping all week, so I woke up late. The church was fuller then it had been all summer (or any church service I had been to in the summer), so we had run out of Church Bulletins by the time I arrived.

Primary Responsibility of the Church
Posted on: 08/10/2009 11:45
Do you agree and/or disagree that the primary responsibility of the church (every church) is to obey its one true Head (Jesus Christ)?
What does it actually mean for the church to "obey its one true Head (Jesus Christ)" ?
Can the fulfillment of such a responsibility be assured? if so, how?
Secret Society to Outlaw Organs Everywhere Today!
RevJamesMurray suggested the idea of this group in a post, so I decided to create it!
This is the group for clergy, lay people, members of congregations, every day joes and jills, and anyone else, who wants to see the church move away from the droning boring old organs and organ music, to modern, dynamic, relevant, exciting music in worship!
The statistics are clear, churches ARE moving away from the organ. Sales of new organs have been dropping for the last 20 years. So many organs are being removed from old churches that homes can't be found for them. More than 90% of new churches are built without organs.
It is time for the United Church and like churches with more mainstrem theology to move to modern music. We can't let the conservative churches have all the good music!
This is a group for people who hereby dedicate themselves to fostering the move from the organ to the guitar and other instruments, out in the open, or quietly behind the scenes!

Respectful dialogue - Same-Sex Marriage
Posted on: 07/12/2009 10:04
I don't want to flog this to death and I hope we can have respectful conversation around it.
The Canadian Government recognizes Same-sex marriage.
The United Church of Canada recognizes Same-sex marriage.
Why then are church boards, church councils and ministers able to say "no" to doing the service.? In my personal experience, some of these churches have never had open conversation with the congregation or their boards and committees about Same-sex marriage. It is a topic that hasn't been addressed since the 80's.

Apparently, we just missed Bring your Gun to Church day.
