They're two of the finest I've ever read. MR has magic.<br /><br />And think on that offer in Scotland. It's a lovely country.

Robinson's "Home" in which Ames, the Congregationalist minister comes to give his dear friend Boughton communion for what will almost certainly be the last time. One of the most moving passages I've read. As well as Ames blessing the atheist Jack Boughton in "Gilead". Something that even a cultural Irish Catholic can envy in a more open communion. <br /><br />Reading those two books and the funeral of an in law at a small UCC church have influenced a lot of my thinking on these things. <br /><br />Anthony McCarthyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9479398.post-56049411511700652572011-06-03T18:47:58.595-05:002011-06-03T18:47:58.595-05:00I would not have put it here, if I had not also ho...I would not have put it here, if I had not also hoped that there might be a remote chance...<br /><br />Well, most American Protestant denominations have an agreement to accept the ordination/standing of each others clergy.
