On the occasion of our 27th anniversary this year:
What? Another Poem to Leslie?
Now after twenty-seven years, what say
We end the verse to beautied leg and eyes?
You know by now your face and pace and sway
Are worth remark through word-felt metred sighs.
But other gifts tradition holds for you
Are past my purse. What for me is left? Word
Is still the currency for telling true
Devotion, and the lusts already heard.

Nope-but going to a Presbyterian church back East.
I'd be interested in knowning what made Redeemer the needle in the haystack of hundreds and hundreds of churches. I mean, I hear it's fabulous and I know its influence is far-reaching, but what makes you keep going back, especially given the commute from Newark to Manhattan invovled? Surely there's a house church down the street or at least something closer to All Souls.
Make that thousands. Monroe has some 600 churches, so there must be thousands between Newark and NYC.
