on a mission from blog

June 27, 2005 – 11:16 pm


Marauding Marsupials need not apply.
The sign in front of Trinity Church has become a beacon to higher-order bloggers.

I read today that the fellow who teaches RCIA at the Manhattan church where Dawn often attends finally responded to her voicemail and email…after three months (see the comments on her blog entry). Apparently Dawn’s message was misplaced or lost. But her popular blog (she is a Large Mammal in the Truth Laid Bear’s blog ecosystem) played a role in getting her back on the church’s radar. A regular reader and commenter on her blog heard about this, and contacted the church. Shortly thereafter the chap in charge of RCIA left a comment on her blog apologizing for the oversight.

Yes, I’m irritated. A person approaches a church, because she has become convinced that the Roman Catholic Church has a life-giving message –The Truth that has the power to transform– but she can’t sign up for the proper class because they’ve lost her message. Sorry, respectfully, I have to say that I can’t help thinking that her message isn’t the only one that has been lost. If lambs fare so poorly, what chance does a Marauding Marsupial have?


Tisk, tisk, you Baptists.  It could as easily have been you, and you know it.
Sadly, the Baptists down the street were not able to avoid a bit of triumphalism.

  1. One Response to “on a mission from blog”

  2. I know the feeling. Dawn used to return my emails … but that was before she became a large mammal and found a boyfriend … sniff.

    …just teasing. Great signs.
