Sundays in America

No matter how many times I go, I have never joined my church. Things bother me, just enough things to think I shouldn't join, things like women not being allowed to be ministers or deacons, the literal meaning applied to so many passages in the Bible. The wonderful hugs keep me coming back each week, somehow.

So it was nice to travel with Shea this week to fifty plus churches across the USA. Catholic, Pentecostal, Methodist, Jehovah's Witnesses, Episcopal, churches with celebrity pastors, churches with celebrity members, enormous churches, and tiny churches...Shea tries them all.

I loved this book. It made me want to go on a yearlong quest of my own. I might do it. I just might do it.
