I know it's really cool in Sydney Anglican circles to use that word, but in an online interview where such a small percentage of your readers are going to be Sydney Anglicans? I thought the whole reason the diocese is getting rid of robes and prayer books* and choirs was to remove barriers between the Church and the unchurched - so why insert another barrier with a word that no-one but a Koine Greek scholar will understand?<BR/><BR/>Whew - rant over!<BR/><BR/>It would be great to hear your Religion Report interview - be sure to post a link to the download when you've done it, please.<BR/><BR/>Pax,<BR/>Murray<BR/><BR/><BR/>* Hence the loss of corporate confessionMurrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824013233238439906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5299407302611232843.post-75141906974590794522007-06-08T10:01:00.000+10:002007-06-08T10:01:00.000+10:00Good on you Gordon - I intend to go and check this...Good on you Gordon - I intend to go and check this out!
