I write a column about being an immigrant and there is a number of columns about growing up in Brooklyn and life as an adult now living in California.<br /><br />Thanks for telling me about your blog. Enjoyed reading. I too was in HiBa. Great experience getting to know kids from other churches. The first time I went a girl asked what church I belong to and I said 59 Street (Lutheran) Church. Her immediate response was: So, you aren't saved! In her mind Lutherans were liberal, unsaved individuals. We became good friends.<br /><br />Thanks again.<br />Erling DuganUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437558026224379967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876740550069534239.post-2133601030859105042010-06-13T11:07:45.926-05:002010-06-13T11:07:45.926-05:00ahh - we can agree Thornyahh - we can agree ThornyJoyce Ligharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853208533065317514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876740550069534239.post-64470137444900530862010-06-13T10:20:21.381-05:002010-06-13T10:20:21.381-05:00How will I worship Him today? 'I will serve Yo...How will I worship Him today? 'I will serve You while I'm waiting, I will worship while I'm waiting' - John Waller. (Working today; Friday evening and Saturday evening worshipped with prison inmates, it was awesome and I'm so thankful for the opportunity.)<br /><br />I too grew up in what some would consider an 'ecumenical' background, and it was a surprise to find out that lots of Christians never worship outside their denomination. (We teased one friend for appearing to think that God is only present at her 'family' church in Union Center.) I came into the charismatic/ Pentecostal world in my 20's, and even there have encountered what I would call religious provincialism. In the past few years, the Lord has quickened my understanding that He accepts all types of worship! It's all about the sincerity of the worshiper, after all 'worshiping in spirit and in truth'.<br /><br />ThornyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-876740550069534239.post-92081285148565439892010-06-12T20:52:33.825-05:002010-06-12T20:52:33.825-05:00Joyce, every time I go back to the City to visit, ...Joyce, every time I go back to the City to visit, I attend the Brooklyn Tabernacle. I took both of my brother's daughters to services and love hearing Jim Cymbala preach. The choir headed by Carol is wonderful.
