[Magdalen] Pancake/Waffle Time.

[Scott Knitter]

Always interesting when (some) folks come from other traditions and expect
their new place to have similar traditions. We had a couple (who became
dear friends) from St Paul's, K Street, in DC, join us at All Saints', East
Lansing, Mich. and for a while seemed horrified we didn't do things the way
they were done on K Street. Well, it isn't K Street...that's the simple
answer.  I remember a couple of other such visitors from other traditions.
"I am livid that the hymnal here is not 100% unfailingly inclusive
language." Well, true, and sorry about that. The UCC's new-ish hymnal is,
but ours is a bit older and hasn't achieved that yet. Places are different,
and many of them are in some state of transition or development.
