St Teresa's Parish

This weekend I am going to try a new parish. St Michael's is a good parish (except for last weekend when we sang "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" by Martin Luther), but I'd like to check this out St Teresa's. From what I have seen so far it seems to be an extraordinarily active parish. I drove by it the other day to make sure that I could find it tomorrow and it is a huge compound. It would be a big parish anywhere, but I was amazed considering I am in Georgia.
The other parish that I want to visit some time is the Melkite parish downtown. I went to a Maronite mass once and it was a good experience. I like seeing the celebration of the Mass in the different rites.

I too found this odd to hear in a Catholic Church, though I have heard form friends who are more theologically inclined than me that the theolgy of that song is sound and was written by Luthern before he left the Chrurch.

Anyway it still sends a bad message to see his name in the hymnals so I understand you're feelings.

Great blog!
