Thread Name: Old Thyme Gospel HearMe Circle?
Subject: RE: Old Thyme Gospel HearMe Circle?
After momentary reflection and due contemplation, I must confess; you are absoloutely correct in your observation of my bassakwardness. It's a real good thing that I'm not working in the control tower of a major airport; wouldn't be pretty! Is "Mudcat Time" the same as Eastern Standard Time US? What are there, 5 time zones in the continental U.S.? So.. If we start at 9PM EST, that would be (check the math, here) 4PM California? And for ye of the Olde Counterie, that'd be what... 2 the next Morning? I'm not used to thinking all this globally! Perhaps a weekend might be more accomidating? The term "Gospel", IMHO, pretty much implies "Christian", and Lord knows that there is a lot of diversity under that banner! If devotees of other faith traditions want to sing the praises of Allah, Shiva, Moroni, Sidhartha, or who/whatever else, that's a wonderful thing, but they may be more comfortable setting up a seperate and distinct opportunity in which to do that. Heck, I'd be interested in listening in to something like that in the interest of potential consciousness expansion, above and beyond mere idle curiosity. I'd like to think that a few of the "alternative faith tradition" adherants might be listening in to us Christers for much the same reason. Tolerance and open-mindedness rather becomes us, don't ye think?
