Am I a sick puppy for wanting any rapper or hip hopper to attempt to take on Modern Major General, that Gilbert and Sullivan classic?

Nope, not at all.
And you've given me blog inspiration.

I do seem to start stuff. :D

Your wish is my YouTube search, milady: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyWQxsAxJmw

Personally, I've taken it as a challenge, and will attempt to rap Modern Major General while making candles someday. Anyone willing to back me up on the mouth-drums? - Cathus

I think I read that you are thinking about becoming a priest. That's cool! Just thought I'd say hi. Always excited when I read about women going into ministry. :D

Dude! Little Apple! KC! Dude! (sorry, easily excited.) But seriously. KC's all sorts of awesome.

And thank you. I've been in lay ministry for the past three years, but I've heard a very clear call since I was sixteen for full time ministry in the clergy. Still. I know better than to resist God's voice. I did that a few times, and it didn't turn out well for me those few times. Still!

Hi! Nice to meet you!

I'm actually in the process of converting to Christianity and feel most comfortable at the ELCA Lutheran or Episcopalian Church....mind if I add you?

Absolutely. Feel free to. :)

Cool. Added you. Maybe you will be able to give me advice. :-)

I'll do my best. :)

Well I've only decided to convert since april and you've been a christian longer, so that's a start at least. haha.

It is, though my experience with Christianity is largely a patchwork quilt of denominations and traditions, so there are some things that depend, plus, well, making the shift from being a hardcore conservative Right Wing Christian to a more centrist, social justice Christian.

It's an interesting story. :)

Well, in my experience, ELCA Lutheran or Episcopalian Christianity are more liberal then some other groups, and since I am converting from Judaism, they are a pretty liberal bunch, so these groups make the most sense to me. For the most part ELCA and Episcopalian seem pretty similar, but Episcopalian has different views on the Eucharist and are generally a little more ritualistic.

Yeah, I'll fully admit to being a liturgy monkey. I love the liturgy of the Episcopal Church, and while the ELCA is similar in some aspects, the Episcopal Church has (at least to me) a much fuller sense of the Eucharist. That isn't to say, of course, that the ELCA is wrong, but merely different. I happen to be more affected by a high church atmosphere, I think. Smells and bells, baby.

It's part of the reason I continue my relationship with Christ within the bounds of this denomination.

Me too. Some ELCA is high church. What is the Episcopalian understanding of the Eucharist? ELCA teaches it's symobolic.

This is a "depends" answer. Some do believe in transubstantiation. (and maaaan, that's a long word.) Others, like me, because I came from such a heavy Protestant background believe that it is symbolic. It's an interesting point of view, for sure.

Also, if you'd like, pick any of the messengers I've got on my user info. This may go faster that way. :)
