I think this sign,
which is on my walking route to the House of Skeletons, kind of summarizes the
whole California gestalt:
I don’t know exactly
which element takes precedence in terms of the California life—I mean, you’ve
got Methodist, Lutheran and…um, I dunno sharing premises. In close temporal
quarters—looks like the Methodists are still hanging about on their coffee hour
when the Lutherans show up on a Sunday. And knowing how Lutherans like to
settle in for gospels and stuff, I imagine they’re still there when the unknown
denominational Koreans appear.
It’s not actually
that unusual to see English-speaking congregations sharing with Chinese or
Korean groups around here. It’s the ecumenicalism of this one that interests
me.
Plus—you just gotta
love a group that calls itself “The Very Good Church of Silicon Valley”. Or of
anywhere else, for that matter.
Sorry to say that I missed the junque sale.
