On a discussion board somewhere in cyberspace a question was asked concerning five particular, possibly useless, skills you bring to ministry. My offering below:
1/ liturgical/ theological potential
I can discuss in detail, and with delight, the development of 6-8th c
monastic laws concerning the 'ejecting' of the host post communion; I
will one day write the definitive paper on this entitled 'Jesus is
everywhere', or, 'I can't believe it's not Jesus'
2/ liturgical/ theological potential
If you want to know anything about liturgies for corporate Protestant
fasting - y'know, on those occasions when storms hit, plague strikes, or
you have an outbreak of pesky witches - then I can rustle up something
appropriate.
3/ working within a large institution/ team work potential I am a dab hand at cussing in mid-Scots [c.16thc]
4/ spreading cheerfulness through community singing factor
My secret substandard-power: the ability to turn life into a musical at
any point in a conversation. My life does indeed go on in endless
song...
5/ pastoral care potential
I have a deep understanding of the power of the pastoral elbow, and
can, when pastorally elbowing simultaneously tilt my head to the side.
