Dangers of Martial Arts

"It took a moment or two for it to sink in when I was told that I needed to keep an official record when I married; what is more, that I needed to keep a record of everyone I married."

There are folks out there who would give their eyeteeth to be ordained as Anglican priests. Maybe they just don't go to the right dojo. That may be more important than belonging to the right church.

One is speechless.

Goodness. A friend of mine, who is slated for ordination to the diaconate on June 19th, is busy with a crash-course in Spanish as required by the Diocese of Los Angeles, planning for a postulants' retreat, and preparing for guest preaching duties, not to mention working hard to pay back Yale Divinity School for his advanced degree. Poor guy, I think he's been duped into thinking ordination is some sort of ordeal.
