Reading Week

Reading week for McCormick is next week (Oct 18-22) but that doesn't mean I'm not going to be busy. This weekend I will be going on what is being called The Liturgical Death March. I need to drive up to McCormick on Saturday so I can attend a service at Willow Creek. Willow Creek is a mega church and we are going to experience their worship service. The service starts @ 5:30 but we leave McCormick @ 3:00pm which means I need to leave Rensselaer @ at least 1:00pm on Saturday. But that's not all, the death march continues. After the Willow Creek experience, I need to be back at McCormick at 6:30am on Sunday Morning so we can attend Trinity United Church of Christ. After Trinity we will be attending Saint Benedict the African-East. The day should end around 2:00pm. Meaning I will have spent a full 24 hours doing nothing (well I will sleep a little bit) but going to various church's worship services. That's just Saturday and Sunday of Reading Week! I also have a mid-term for History I as well as a 6-8 page reflection paper concerning the different worship services I attended during the weekend. I also need to catch-up on reading for history before I take the mid-term. Yuck!

Good news, My research topic for history has been approved. I will be researching pelagianism and original sin throughout the early church history to the reformation. Pelagius has a very ancient Jewish interpretation of Original Sin. Namely, there is no such thing!
