Steeplechase

At Donna's request we're planning to look for a church to attend. We're using what I call "Proximity Theology"; find a church within walking distance or a very, very short drive.

Talking to friends about church is so bizarre. For the most part I can't understand why anyone would go to church if a social/community connection is the primary thing they are after. I find people in bars are much friendlier. If it's not about belief, what is it?

Reminds me of this early 80's Steve Taylor song. Apropos for me right now I'd say.

I liked the minister at United Methodist on 18th and Broadway, Darrell Mount, who gives really interesting sermons. But I really don't care for all the stand up sit down and sing stuff. I guess my ideal church would be in a coffee shop or a bar with a two-way dialog and I'm fortunate enough to know a few people who are happy to drink beer and talk about theology.

I love drinking beer and talking theology.
