"...makes me wonder why I spend so much time debating about the differences between the various rites in Christianity"

If all our debating showed an understanding that we all belong to Christ --- it could be a loving as a family "debate" around the Thanksgiving table.

If all our minutes of debate were matched one-for-one with minutes of prayer, what prayerful people we would be!

And --- although I know JimRob does not allow fundraising on Free Republic ---- if we had a PayPal fund into which we paid $1 for every half hour FReeping, to be distributed worthily as Christian alms, how cool it would be for us "Macedonians" and us "Corinthians" to compete in doing good for the Christians who live in the garbage dumps.

Just thoughts of mine, this Lent.

Wow! Thanks for the links! I can't believe I never even heard of it -- of course, I was a bit taken aback even by the mentions in the article of "green salt" and "bronze salt"; I never knew much beyond Morton's or Diamond Crystal.

Those carvings are wonderful, and the article said they were just done by anonymous miners! What amazing work!
