Two Pastors Relfect Upon Their Columbine Experience

Ten years later, these two men of God—radically different in personality and theological approach—are still struggling to deal with the damage done to them by two boys bent on murder and mayhem.

One  of the pastors is a liberal Lutheran, who actually presided over the  private memorial service for Dylan Klebold – one of the murderers.

The other pastor is from a non-denominational church, and officiated the Cassie Bernall funeral, the high school junior who was reported to affirm her belief in God before she was murdered.

Preachers and Weddings

When I was in Abilene for the scholarship meeting last weekend, I asked one of my pastor friends a question in regards to the number of weddings and funerals he had officiated.  The other pastor in the group replied, “I’m a lot more selective in who I marry.”  Everyone understood what he meant, but the line itself made it sound like he himself has married many a time and we all had a good laugh.

That memory came to mind as I read this little rant from a Methodist pastor about the size, cost, and meanings of weddings regarding young people.  I thought the pastoral readers and others of this website might find it insightful.
