One person starts off a process, takes it a little way and then another member of the committee takes it on, or doesn't as the case may be. THats why it seems inconsistent at times I think.Revjeanrolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744131101249601856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137857716187567509.post-23194326336888443992011-05-07T13:34:54.103-07:002011-05-07T13:34:54.103-07:00Jean,
Another post which demonstrates that things...Jean,<br /><br />Another post which demonstrates that things can work. <br /><br />I am 61 and still in the discernment process. I accepted I will not start training until next year, and the forsee 3 years part-time before deaconing. With a further 4 years of curacy. I will be nigh on 70 myself if all of this happens.<br /><br />Only God knows how and why the Church sees fit to treat people in the way it does? When I hear stories such as yours, I wonder why I am bothering at all? So despite my better judgement, a small voice inside keeps nagging me to persevere, and it won't be silenced.<br /><br />I just hope that I can have the length and type of ministry that you describe. Doing it for the love of God, nothing else will suffice.UKViewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114944341930758335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137857716187567509.post-70768234884707289922011-05-07T09:06:49.987-07:002011-05-07T09:06:49.987-07:00Good grief you don't take the 'easy way...Good grief you don't take the 'easy way' out do you?<br />What a tale. You certainly won't be needing any lessons in humility will you!<br />I'm so glad you've 'fallen on your feet' this time. Well done.Ray Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09209429097744326143noreply@blogger.com
