Thank you for visiting Christ Church a...Dear John,<br /><br />Thank you for visiting Christ Church and for writing about your experience in your blog post. Your references to the Civil War reminded me of the old film, The Outlaw Josey Wales, and his great line, "I guess we all died a little in that damn war." Indeed we did. Even still it feels a little bit like a soldier who survived but lost a limb. Anyway, I'm glad you visited and shared the sacrament with us. Perhaps the next time I'm on vacation I can visit St. Andrews.<br /><br />Let me also say "thank you" for sharing the fact that no one engaged you except at the formal greetings. While it is painful to hear it's something we need to hear. We certainly don't want to be a club that exists only for it's members. No, we must be the kinds of people who are eager to share Jesus' love and welcome to the "strangers" in our midst. So again, thank you for bringing this to our attention as it will help us more intentionally live out our calling as the people of God. <br /><br />Blessings to you and the community of St. Andrews.<br /><br />Patrick Wildman<br />Sr. Pastor, Christ Church AnglicanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09556744957128493611noreply@blogger.com
