Thanks Donna! Actually these "church words" are the ones I am having the most trouble with, because most of them can't be found in the Swedish-English dictionary... Or, that is, "church words" referring to things or practices within the Lutheran church (the former state church) is in the dictionary, the others are just not relevant to most Swedes (only about 1-2% of the population belong to one of the traditional free churches) and hence don't make it into the dictionary... And it's frustrating, knowing the word in Swedish, but not being able to find the English equivalent...love/Reb> >> >> > I am doing some writing on the research project involving the > > Pentecostal church (that I mentioned earlier).

Thanks, Debbi! Sounds like a lovely tradition! Maybe someone should take it up here! But the "church coffee" ("kyrkkaffe") usually isn't done that way. It's served in church, but not everybody bring something. It's sometimes payed for and sometimes not.

Reb,

Anything you need help with putting together for the church words.. I'd

be more than happy to give a stab at.. I spent my formative years

attending a " Church of God " branch of the Protestant religion.. then

the " Assembly of God " another branch.. also " Pentacostal Holiness " as

well as " Baptist " .. all protestant.. all slightly different in format

and behavior..

So I can give it a whirl if you want..

that is my family - I broke the mold - I am non denominational

after all that time with Cameron Campus Ministry - 31 non denominational churches covenented with them

I was an intern and then staff

being a non traditional (non teen age to young adult) it brought a new dimension to the ministry

what was funny the director was the faculty sponsor for the boy scout fraternity - he got white hair from it - since my brother was in in and one of the board - he took my oldest with him to "take notes" on the meetings

the other brothers got together and drank the liquor out of a display whiskey bottle so my son (age 3) could have a penny bank

so I could always tease the boss out of his sulks by reminding him of the past

he almost went through the roof - I brought in my Cameron College yearbook and there he was as the advisor - looking just like his son does now

Reb,Anything you need help with putting together for the church words.. I'd be more than happy to give a stab at.. I spent my formative years attending a "Church of God" branch of the Protestant religion.. then the "Assembly of God" another branch.. also "Pentacostal Holiness" as well as "Baptist".. all protestant.. all slightly different in format and behavior..So I can give it a whirl if you want..HUGS|)onnaReb D wrote:>>> Thanks Donna!

that is my family - I broke the mold - I am non denominational

after all that time with Cameron Campus Ministry - 31 non denominational churches covenented with them

I was an intern and then staff

being a non traditional (non teen age to young adult) it brought a new dimension to the ministry

what was funny the director was the faculty sponsor for the boy scout fraternity - he got white hair from it - since my brother was in in and one of the board - he took my oldest with him to "take notes" on the meetings

the other brothers got together and drank the liquor out of a display whiskey bottle so my son (age 3) could have a penny bank

so I could always tease the boss out of his sulks by reminding him of the past

he is the nephew of my father in law and I did not know it for almost a year - my fil is from a German Catholic family - he had neices and nephews from the womb to college back in the 1970's

he never mentioned it

after the divorce from hell in 1984 - I came home 7 months later - my Dad had been dealing with Cancer and died two months after my divorce

I met my cousin at a Beginning Experience meeting - he picked an argument with me the firest day

he is a good guy - I haven't seen him in years - remembering to call falls through the cracks for me - I still email him the almost best jokes - he isn't computer literate - I am still fumbling - he can get emails - sorta

I can tease him - he is 11 years older and I am 11 years younger - he is 72 and still teaching undergraduate and graduate classes and pastoring a church in town
