I too love the inclusiveness of "Our Father." I was thinking only today that if we want to get someone's attention, we start by listening to them, regardless of creed or no creed at all. You might want to check out another very interesting blog that I write on occasionally. Every week someone from a different faith writes on the blog and engages in discussion with the online community. The blog is called "Spiritually Speaking". The address is http://www.timecolonist.com/spirituality Ernie - that is so sweet. Then this missive was heart to heart :) Hi Dennis, thanks so much for your thoughtful comments.

About 13 years ago, I started attending a methodist church and joined it. I remember at my dad's wake, members from my brother's charismatic church asked me where I attended church. I replied Our Redeember's United Methodist Church. I received the same thud that you did. I felt like saying I was a tongue talker when they were still in diapers. One reason I go where I go is that there is more freedom of thought and expression. BTW, I am a student of Christian Science. I study the weekly lessons and have read Science and Health through several times. I am very eccletic and accepting of others' faiths. I love the inclusiveness of Christ Jesus when He taught us to pray "Our Father", not just my Father. I have had a similar experience. I spent many years in the evangelical/chariamatic churches.

Yes it is a discipline - learning to listen, but when we learn to listen to each other, it is easier to listen to God. Enjoy the journey - it is very rewarding.

Listening is a discipline you have inspired me to work harder on.
