Saint on Trial

December 18th, 2008

stained glass window Did you know that the Episcopal diocese of Massachusetts observes the feast of the biblical Saints Andronicus and Junia, Apostles, on a trial basis on May 17 each year?

I received word of this from the initiator, a self-declared enthusiast about Saints Junia and Andronicus.

What can I say?

The world is a mighty big place, and has room for all kinds. I think this is a good thing, but surely there’s space for logic, too? How can anyone worship a saint on a trial basis? If he or she fails to do even the smallest little miracle, then we’ll show ‘em and look out for a better saint? Is that it?

Actually, not a bad idea at all. Do they also believe in God on a trial basis?

Ha! Religion. Always a wonderful blogging subject ;-)

    Gestern habe ich in eine talkshow etwa 2 Minuten reingeguckt, es war ätzend, aber einer hat offenbar die anderen Teilnehmer (Theologen) abgewatscht, er hat gesagt, ihm sei ein logisch denkender Atheist immer noch lieber als esoterische Christen. Immerhin.
