Thanks for not backing down about what the reading would be in order to be 'sensitive' to him. It was gracious of himto do it,a dn he did it quite well.<br /><br /><br />However, Why was the name of Jesus totally absent from the Vespers Prayers???<br /><br />~SqueekerLambAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7846189835239594160.post-24309714854291439672011-11-23T08:19:32.952-05:002011-11-23T08:19:32.952-05:00Wow, a Methodist minister read a from the Book of ...Wow, a Methodist minister read a from the Book of Sirach?
