There are xtians that go to megachurches and in air conditioned comfort sway lightly then buy merchandise in the lobby afterwards before retreating to their 4WD to drive back to their McMansion and turn the AC up to full. There are those that go to 100 year old churches and repeat the same prayers in monotone and sing the same hymns from the 19th century and listen to the same sermons and anyone who appears with an acoustic guitar is considered a turtleneck beardy weardy. There are also those that meet with Prime Ministers to lobby for exemptions from family court requirements so if someone leaves the church they have to leave their kids too.
Then there are our friends. We're not xtian. I'm lapsed, theWife never was. But our lovely friends who happened to be xtian organised with their church to feed us top notch dinners in the first couple of weeks theWife came home with theBoy. Why? Why not. They just wanted to do us a favour.
How beautiful is that?!
You guys rawk. And so do the people from your church. Way to practice the philosophy of just helping people.
Thanks.
That is really lovely actually. Not enough of that happens in the world these days.
ReplyDeleteThat is nice. Beats the pants off the gay-hating, 'you're all going to hell' brigade. More in keeping with the real spirit of Christianity as I see it, too. Good on them :)
ReplyDeleteI think these lads are more of the 'lets look at what Jesus preached and practiced as opposed to isolated verses from Leviticus' type of Christian.
ReplyDeleteYeah we need more of them... pity they seem to be in the minority. Or maybe they're just so busy doing worthwhile stuff and not trying to interfere in peoples' lives a la Tony Abbott that no-one notices them.
