Home from Even Song over to the church house. I have to say I was somewhat surprised at the crowd. The place was almost full. The music was incredible! We had a couple of guest organist who know how to rock an organ! Plus the combined choirs of St. Patrick’s/LCOS with the choir members from Christ United Methodist Church, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and St. Teresa’s Catholic Church performed some music that sent chills down my spine and brought tears to my eyes it was do beautiful!
The reception after was not slack in the least. We can put out a spread and put on a partay!red what ruble said, sorta. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Episcopal Church (ECUSA) have a joint Called To Common Mission . That is for you to read at your leisure. It comes down to one can be ELCA and ECUSA with shared Priests/Pastors, Communion and all that stuff. The local ELCA (Our Savior) had dwindled down to a congregation of about thirty. Our Savior and St. Patrick’s (my ECUSA church) had through the years held joint services from time to time. Our Savior approached us with the idea of joining in with St. Patrick’s so they could retain an ELCA presence as they were no longer able to support having a physical space (sad note: they lost their church building and had been renting space from a local United Methodist Church). So we entered into an agreement whereby ELCA was, if you will, “enfolded” into St. Patrick’s but still able to maintain a Lutheran identity. Thus, there is a nine a.m. Lutheran service and a 10:45 a.m. Episcopal service but the church is St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church with the Lutheran Congregation of Our Savior. Follow that so far? In our new digs, we have a chapel called “Our Savior Chapel” in honor of LCOS. In addition we have an outdoor Baptismal Font and out door Altar. The Baptismal Font is the original LCOS Font. The Altar was built in memory of Pastor Diamond who for a long time served as Interim Pastor of LCOS and was instrumental in bringing LCOS to St. Patrick’s. So, this morning at the Consecration of the new Church, Julian Gordy, Bishop of The Southeastern Synod of the ELCA, and Scott Benhase, Bishop of the ECUSA Diocese of Georgia were present. Make sense? What LCOS and St. Patrick’s have done has drawn the attention of both the LCOS and the ECUSA nationwide. We get a lot of inquiries as to how we pulled this off and how it’s working out.
That’ll teach you to ask me a question!
So what you’re saying is that y’all share a churchhouse? Cool.
Emily I used to sub as organist at my home parish, as well as being on call most Sundays as a member of the musician’s local. Sometimes, I was even tipped in Notre Dame tickets.
When I was a student at Catholic High, some Important Catholic Guy blessed the Senior class with a paint brush dipped in Holy Water. I leaned over and told my friend Steve, “I’ll give you twenty dollars if you will yell, “Tramcigam!””
I was busy with stuff like homework. Basically, I had much more useful things to do.
Still haven’t watched the Kitten or Puppy Bowls yet. Yes, I recorded both. As stressed as I am over things like DH STILL not having a job, I need a mega-dose of cute.
I would think that kind of TMI is Swampy’s turf.

Let me guess – either the catch near the goal line or the interception afterwards?
Throw an INT instead of Lynch running it.
You’re cherry’s been popped; it’s time to put you out to pasture. See the furry new MMP over here .
