Anyone want to give me the basics about Presbyterianism?
unsinkable replied to unsinkable's topic in The Chat Board
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10650773-how-to-read-churches How to Read Churches by Denis McNamara This is a great book, too. It is general but the author has RC specific lectures on You Tube for Catholic churches. This series also has how to read a building and how to read a house -
Anyone want to give me the basics about Presbyterianism?
unsinkable replied to unsinkable's topic in The Chat Board
OK...i am learning about a specific building which is a Presbyterian church. I know about the history and particulars of this specific building, which technically is all I need to know. Bc I will not tell tour groups about the religion, bc it is not part of the tour. But I am curious about Presbyterianism (which is not a denomination, thank you for that!) for my own interest. does that help? -

I have my resources for the building. I am fine with that. I just am curious about the beliefs, worship, etc. I don't *need* to know that stuff, just want to know. -

ah. why are churches named things like First Presbyterian? -
Another thing about Catholic parishes (that is now really changing for a variety of reasons) is that you used to be literally surrounded by your fellow parishoners. The Sobieskis lived next door: Stan, Stella, and all the little Sobieskis. And you knew who they were because mom or dad would shout their names out the door when they needed to come home. LOL They often went to the parish school and all the kids walked there about the same time. Everyone went to Mass, everyone went to CYO, everyone was in Altar and Rosary. You generally didn't *need* name tags.

No, the religion...beliefs, history, etc. I have resources for the building and I am in the early stages (like larva!) of learning about ecclesiastical architecture so I am good there. -

Thereason I want to know is bc I am learning about a Presbyterian church. this particular church is new *to me* but an older historic church that would be included on a tour I would give. I don't technically need to know the religion to talk about the building but I am curious. If you feel like it, just the basics are fine. I know a bit about the denomination but feel free to explain like i am five. 😉 thank you! I'm fine with the building...I know the history, style, architect, interior, etc. I will not be talking about Presbyterianism for any tour, however I am curious for -
Just quoting you to jump in... Lots of Roman Catholic mass goers smile and nod at each other as they are entering their pews, acknowledging both friends and unfamiliar people. Lots of people are praying and getting in the mindset for Mass, but it is pretty clear who those people are, usually either kneeling or sitting with bowed heads, holding prayer book or rosary. Or looking at crucifix, not making eye contact, etc. Generally, No one is intruding on anyone's spiritual preparation for Mass. But it isn't all complete none interaction between Mass goers, just it is mostly non-verbal. Excep

Meals that are easy to prep and can last a week?
unsinkable replied to DawnM's topic in The Chat Board
You're welcome. They are nice for tossing with rice and veggies, in salads, with pasta. The thinnest pieces are good for rolls on sandwiches. I very very much dislike thick chicken breasts, mostly because of texture. I also don't like worrying about undercooked chicken and this really eliminates that worry.I The dog is very distracting! LOL -

unsinkable replied to DawnM's topic in The Chat Board
I've come up with a plan to make chicken breasts that I finally like and that produce tasty breasts right out of oven and are still tasty reheated after a few days in frig. You could do this and freeze some at your house for you dad then deliver them. I get chicken breasts with rib meat so they are very thick. Also, the kind I buy are varying sizes in one package...the thickness and varying sizes are a PITA to get it all good, until I came up with this plan. here it is, no complete sentences, I'm sorry! preheat oven to 415degrees F Pour a few tablespoons of vegetable oil o -
help...my 3 yo runner can unbuckle his table booster seat

The justification I hear seems to be: *Unless you've had to restrain a child in a chair for meals, you don't have a child who needs to be restrained in a chair for meals. " Which I disagree with, whole-heartedly. As a mom, no meal is important enough to restrain a child. It is a parenting decision, not a *child behaves thusly* decision. I also have said I would never fight/argue/coerce with a child over food And eating...And have received unrestrained vitriol and the same justification from board members...unless you've fought/argued/coerced a child over food or eating, you don' -

I'd tend to agree with the cardiac doc. Except this seems emregent, if I am reading the chronology right. It might be worth a call the the doc who dealt with the blockage. I wish you lived here, Quill. My medical person would get you straight into a disinfected room, so you all could bypass the waiting room and triage if you decided to go in.
