I have few hard and fast rules in life, but one is to read whatever Prof. Ehrman writes. Curious to know if Profs. Goodacre and Ehrman have crossed paths now that their universities are approximately 15 miles apart. Prof. Ehrman has been doing amazing work in making scholarly discussion accessible to interested general readers like me. Also curious to know if he ever sleeps given his deluge of books since 1999 or so. Maybe Prof. Goodacre could inquire and post the answer here? :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759844.post-1148305391556352762006-05-22T09:43:00.000-04:002006-05-22T09:43:00.000-04:00Mark,I too dreaded seeing the film this last Frida...Mark,<BR/><BR/>I too dreaded seeing the film this last Friday. I had heard awful things about Hanks acting. However, I did see the film (only because I had to make a presentation against it this Sunday morning) and Hanks was not too bad. I liked the acting it was first rate - the subject matter was lacking but acting good.<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/>JoeDr. Joseph Ray Catheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140573020952903246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5759844.post-1148150776078460552006-05-20T14:46:00.000-04:002006-05-20T14:46:00.000-04:00About the Da Vinci Code, there was much frenzied b...About the Da Vinci Code, there was much frenzied blogging among the Catholics (like myself) on the subject ...

As part of your further Americanization, we in the Episcopal Church here use that term a little differently than you all do in the U.K. Here, a vicar is the priest in charge of a mission (that is a church that receives financial support from the diocese or is too small to be a parish. The priest in charge of a parish is a rector. I am both rector and vicar because I'm in charge of a parish and a mission church. Lastly, if there was such an event here, it would probably be called a clergy or pastor only event, since the majority of our clergy are from denominations with no such terminology. We do however love The Vicar of Dibley! By the way, I have read the book and will see the movie. I am engaged constantly in discussions about it with my congregation.Whit+https://www.blogger.com/profile/11230181113950441099noreply@blogger.com
