Over 5000 are expected at this "family reunion." And, yes, that's what it seems like to me. Just like a family reunion, there are those kin folk you love to see, those you are surprised to see and some you really just try to not have to spend too much time with. And, just like a family reunion, there are memories shared, futures examined and beliefs considered.
One thing I have learned at both is that Rob is absolutely right..."Everybody's different."
Then again, being "different" is no excuse for rudeness, bossyness or condescention.
Then again, isn't being different what the Church of the Brethren is supposed to be known for?
If so, different from what? I always thought it was "different from the world," but at times, I really can't see much difference.
