Hopefully will make it out to a Hootenanny soon!

I've been meaning to check out Eastern Orthodox services for some time – Ethiopian Orthodox in particular intrigues me – your nudge might be all that's needed for it to actually happen. <br /><br />That said, I've found a home with the Quakers and L'Arche, at least for the moment. <br /><br />Grace and peace,<br />Tim.Timothy Blinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242026890824176288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001029864060026552.post-47229930010544537592012-01-04T19:04:00.025-08:002012-01-04T19:04:00.025-08:00Hi Timothy,

I ran across your interesting blog when I was scanning for JPUSA info on Wikipedia. <br /><br />7 years ago I was having very similar (if not exactly the same) issues with "absolute truth" especially as it relates to Christianity. <br /><br />I'm an Eastern Orthodox Christian now. It's like nothing I had ever experienced before. <br /><br />I think there is an Orthodox Church very close to you, about 5 miles away, at 721 Somerset Street West. <br /><br />We Orthodox still use the Julian Calendar that the early Church used, vs. following the "regular" calendar that the Roman Catholic Pope Gregory decreed be adopted in the 17th century. Therefore, our Feast Day of the Nativity of Jesus Christ (aka Christmas) is this Saturday. There is a Divine Liturgy at 10AM. I think you will enjoy it, or at least find it very interesting. <br /><br />Best wishes, and Glory to God for all things<br /><br />Pete in Chicago<br />petebrush1@sbcglobal.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001029864060026552.post-13682866304286050982011-11-21T19:07:15.307-08:002011-11-21T19:07:15.307-08:00Hi Erin.

I'm glad you appreciated what I wrote, and thankful you told me, and introduced yourself a bit. <br /><br />I'd be intrigued to your impressions of JPUSA, as someone who just came for a week with a youth group. If you feel like sharing, comments on this post or the JPUSA one would do, or my e-mail, to spell it out more plainly, is "timothyblinks" at "gmail.com"<br /><br />P.S. Took a quick spin through your blog despire your warning. You sound like you live an interesting life (or maybe it's just that you're an interested person, so you often end up doing interesting things), so your blog was interesting.Timothy Blinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242026890824176288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6001029864060026552.post-28099172951546536742011-06-01T12:08:56.605-07:002011-06-01T12:08:56.605-07:00Hey Tim!

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I work with a youth group at a church in Lawrence, Kansas and we worked at JPUSA for a week last summer. I was really thankful for my experience there, and was intrigued to find the array of stuff about JPUSA online. Anyway, I read a lot of your "field notes"....thanks for your really balanced, really honest approach. <br />Don't waste time reading my blog....It's not really a blog. It's more like an online receptacle for inside jokes with myself. Which everyone needs, I guess. <br />Thanks again,<br />ErinBlerghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10080099212840908573noreply@blogger.com
