Samuel Clear, a 28 year old from Australia, is walking an 18 month pilgrimage across the planet inviting people to join him in praying for the unity of all Christians. Naming the pilgrimage, Walk4One, Sam sold everything he owned to personally fund the journey, and left Australia on December 14, 2006. This began his 29,000km, 564 day, worldwide journey, which will include 18,000kms travelled on foot. Sam is soon to arrive in the US.

Yes, but the trip would have taken three days.

Ohh, what’s really going to bake your noodle is, would you still have gotten rid of that car if there were no Chik-Fil-As?

For the record, I drove cross-country to get rid of a car.

Just because the route was plotted based on Chik-Fil-A locations along the way is merely the result of thoughtful planning.

We’re both liberal, we both teach Sunday School, we’re both stubborn…

Yeah, it’s genetic.

My dad told me about visiting the church I grew up in. Apparently, the new minister is concerned about the ‘other church’ in the small fishing village where he grew up. It’s a town of about 230 - 300. It used to be that most everyone went to the Methodist Church. There was another church, but it was very small. There’s a bit of history there, at the time it was a nasty split that basically centered around cessationism. The ones that favored speaking in tongues, etc formed a Rock Church.

Most folks have moved on, though, and my understanding was that the two churches work with each other from time to time. This guy implied that they were apostate. When my father went to speak with him, he warned my father that he “was out in left field” because my father dared suggest that the Methodist church was not much different from the Rock Church.

My father and I both believe that this whole ‘miraculous gifts’ issue is not the line for who is God’s elect and who is not. My father is probably more liberal than me, but this is one thing we agree on.

I visited a mainline COC on Sunday where the minister labeled all denominational Christian churches “the anti-christ.” This was during their “Bring Your Neighbor Day” too.

“They” were great, really. I look forward to this coming Sunday night. I going again, but this time without the entire OCoC with me.
