endings

My years with my Lutherans were wonderful in many ways, but I've long since realized that, had I stayed in Vermont, I would certainly have had to leave that church eventually. The change of pastors had left me, a non-Lutheran, on shaky ground, and I wondered if the open and compassionate culture of the congregation would survive the change.

I was still connected with a few of my Lutheran friends on Facebook. This week I've unfriended half of them, after they posted "kneeling is disrespecting the Flag" memes and I objected. My remaining Lutheran friends are basically inactive on FB, so my Lutheran connection is pretty much over now. A sadness but time to move on. (For those who might wonder, 'my' Pastor is among the inactive, not the meme-posters.)
