The sub

No, not the sandwich. I substituted for St. Stephanola. A couple of people pulled me aside to warn me that this group was very liberal. ?? That is probably why the good people of the Church of the Crucified see all the demons on us. I think it went very well. They liked the idea of Jesus the revolutionary. Actually someone said she had read a book with some such title. I suggested for further reading that they pick up the two books by the current Pope: Jesus of Nazareth, Volume I and II. Also suggested that they might pick up The Lambs Supper by Scott Hahn if they wanted to deepen their faith. The kind gentleman who directs the "Aging Gracefully" group piped up that he did not come to the meeting to have any books recommended to him and then continued to ramble on and on. Can't win the all. Most people said that they came because of Lent, to experience something new and be renewed, and to deepend their faith. There were close to 30 people and it started to get crowded in the library.
Afterwards had a discussion with one of the group leaders of the bible class. She is unhappy and I don't blame her. Told her that her group was not for her. These things happen. My group is great and it pains me that hers is not. Told her to join my group next time around. She feels that her co-facilitator undermines her. Told her not to be a facilitator then.
