We've strayed from the original style of things: the love feast before exhorting each other in the Lord, while in each other's houses, haven't we, dears? :-)<BR/><BR/>If anyone would like to host an "Agape Feast" and needs a guest.. Here's one right here. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10885501.post-1120681690654357632005-07-06T15:28:00.000-05:002005-07-06T15:28:00.000-05:00As a long-time dweller of a small town, and a long...As a long-time dweller of a small town, and a long-time attender of a small church, I agree. While in Auburn I attended a mega-Baptist-church. It was too easy, for everybody there. Everyone was slipping and sliding along, ONLY holding hands with those people in the SAME mud that they were in. Meanwhile at my lovely ZRPB we all have to face and get along with each other's myriad faults and Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10885501.post-1120522873655721172005-07-04T19:21:00.000-05:002005-07-04T19:21:00.000-05:00Don't you notice that in Emma?

Ever since I first read it, I've been so impressed by the way people are accepted in that book--Emma's father in spite of the fact that he fusses about everything and makes people eat boiled meat, and Miss whatever-her-name-is who talks too much (and when Emma decides to put her in her place, it's Emma who gets scolded).Mama Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941211100125966917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10885501.post-1120448774650958352005-07-03T22:46:00.000-05:002005-07-03T22:46:00.000-05:00F.

A goodly portion of this is specifically addressed to REstoration Movement Churches (what those who don't know better call 'Cambellites,' but not around me- but I digress). <BR/>But a whole lot of it is very, very interesting stuff for anybody interested in small community ideas.<BR/><BR/>And Tim's Mom- oooooh.

I come from a mega-church, and I've always thought of the internet's global community as a good thing because it brings together those of like mindsets who had felt isolated in their small communities. I hadn't considered that it could actually be providing a way to escape from the challenge of learning to get along where you are.Leslie Noelani Lauriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06298088211692254547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10885501.post-1120409888393413482005-07-03T11:58:00.000-05:002005-07-03T11:58:00.000-05:00Have you ever read any of Agatha Christie's Miss M...Have you ever read any of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple mysteries? Miss Marple has much the same opinion about small communities, and she is always making connections between her murder cases and things that happened in her own village ("that reminds me of the time the vicar's wife ran off with the butcher," or whatever).Mama Squirrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941211100125966917noreply@blogger.com
