Who wants to move and expose their children to sub-standard housing, schools and lifestyles? Do you seriously want your children to live around people who get pregnant when teenagers or who can't read at 15?<br /> So long as most Mainline Protestant pastors are married with families, very few people will want to risk contact with the "unreached"; touching them is often dangerous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-37815395054818423742013-01-04T10:44:52.119-06:002013-01-04T10:44:52.119-06:00Anne Andert is doing some good work right up the r...Anne Andert is doing some good work right up the road from you, Eric.

You're making some important points that impinge on the olde myth of the "Protestant Ethic & the Spirit of Capitalism," ideas long since turned inside out and back wards by non-lazy and/or non-Lutheran pundits from Thor Veblen to Bob Herhold to Gilles DeLeuze to Robert Reich to Paul Tillich. Lutherans, like rabbis, can teach the world that just to BE is a Blessing, Pax, Dave Bühlerdavebuehlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701083388023776751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-1036538195785757472013-01-03T17:14:38.898-06:002013-01-03T17:14:38.898-06:00No, I'm probably still lazy, because I pastor ...No, I'm probably still lazy, because I pastor one of the largest Lutheran communities in the state. True courage would be to move to Texarkana and start a brand new community. :)Clint Schneklothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707900080657719369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020417.post-71604438860619952232013-01-03T17:07:25.313-06:002013-01-03T17:07:25.313-06:001. is laziness the same as sloth?

But you live in Fayetteville, which means you perhaps are one of the few Lutherans who are not lazy. Good for you.<br /><br />Diane M.
