Going to church?

[Hayley]

That sounds like an interesting but slightly confusing experience, overall! I know different branches of Christianity have differences in the Lord's prayer, but I've never seen one just completely change all the words like that... maybe they thought it would make more sense to people? They didn't want them to think it was literally about just bread? 

 

It sounds like your mum was a lovely person

She has her good and her bad side. Well, her good and her difficult side to be more accurate. She once stayed up all night to care for a pair of dying hamsters when me and my brother were children.

I attended the Unitarians this afternoon. There was a bit of excitement, because it looked like a relatively young couple (under 40) were going to join us, but they had obviously made a mistake. Then the service was delayed a minute while the government sent us all a practice emergency message on our phones. Once that excitement was over the service started. The theme was on the Zero Sum Game. I thought it was going to be a left wing diatribe, so I was surprised when it turned out to be a defence of classical economics, of the sort espoused by John Locke, Adam Smith and David Ricardo. It was still a little lefty, because the preacher said those who tended towards zero sum thinking tended to be afraid of something, for example, free trade and immigration. All the same I never thought I'd hear a defence of neoliberalism at a religious meeting.
