theological snob

A collection of reflections and rants from a sometimes angry, often snobby, dangerously irreverent, sacramental(ish), and slightly insane Baptist pastor

DC Trip part 1

Made it to Washington DC for our youth group mission trip. We are staying at the National Memorial Baptist Church
and will be working with a day camp all week. Right now it is pretty late, so I am not going to write much. I'm waiting for the church motion dictator to go off so I can turn it off. Apparently this is important, and if I miss this dogs will come out full steam, ready to attack and scare me into loving Jesus with all of my -----. So here I sit.

What have I learned so far. Well, seeing as how I just got here I guess I could say that I learned that the train is awesome, that subways are ok, and that it is hot. So hot that… (you fill out the rest).

Oh, and the escalators don't work and we had to climb up the Mt. Everest of escalators. Kinda hurt.

Also the kitchen smells, but that's not so bad. And finally, people are leaving Egypt on UFOs, or at that is what the guy on the corner was shouting.

About Me

Jonathan Malone
East Greenwich, Rhode Island, United States
I'm an American Baptist pastor who received his doctorate at the University of Dayton. It is a PhD in theology with an emphasis on Baptist ecclesiology. The doctoral program is on the American Catholic experience, so I have been reading a lot of that kind of stuff. I also like to rant from time to time and have found that such ranting does not work well in church newsletters.
