This is in the most
This is in the most current newsletter from St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Akron, OH., my sponsoring parish. It is nothing really profound about it, but the list of topics George Murphy is present during a summer adult education class on church-state issues.
Here are the topics:
– Religion and the state in the Bible
– Natural law and the Ten Commandments
– What is “an establishment of religion?”
– The Church’s use of force
– Religion in the public schools
– Were the founding fathers Christian?
– Luther’s “two kingdoms” concept
– Separation of church and state
– “Don’t preach about politics.”
– In what “God” do we “trust?”
– Revolution – 1776 and others
– Capital punishment
– Who needs government? And, why?
Okay, so ten minutes ago,
Okay, so ten minutes ago, I called my CPE supervisor and told him, “I will definitely be there on Tuesday,” meaning I will be doing CPE this summer. Five minutes ago, I received a call from my doctor saying that I need to follow up with a kidney specialist. Why did I not wait fifteen more minutes to call my CPE supervisor? If I am going to have to continue seeing doctors, then it really doesn’t make sense to try to do CPE. A full-time hospital chaplain internship, including on-call duties, does not make sense if I am having to make appointments every other week.
Besides, I had this definite pang of disappointment after hanging up with my supervisor. The opportunities for the summer where out there for the taking, and I decided to cast them aside. Well, this just does make sense – if the major medical stuff would be over, then maybe, but even though I do not feel sick any longer, the kidney stuff, and the MAC stuff, and any other thing they may yet discover, in conjunction with doctor visits and procedures suggests for hassles then it is worth. So, I call and cancel my CPE experience – maybe. I can’t just leave during the day during CPE, like I could simply taking classes.

There are three production companies
There are three production companies doing shoots on the Close today. On our way for coffee this morning, we unexpectedly ran into a Brooks Brothers photo shoot right outside the Refectory. It is always fun to see photo and video production going on.
