I hear quite a lot of church leaders who, frankly, denigrate others because of their shyness or reservation. They seem to make it their mission to "fix" us. It's sad, really.

I can relate. I feel generally fine in my current shack, but one or more of the parishes I formerly attended in other towns now seem like parishes of extroverts, or at least that's what they project on their websites. But I realize that might not reflect reality.

Makes me cringe to visit a parish site and see no photos of what the church looks like, or the liturgy or even the building, just groups of parishioners smiling almost maniacally. I wonder whether my "resting face" and quietness will be welcome there. Or will the liturgy begin with, "Good morning!" "Good morning." "I can't hear you!" "GOOD MORNING!"

Anyway, sorry to seize on just a small thread here...back to talking about things...
