Saturday-Sunday afternoon, February 18-19th, 2006- Sight of the Day- A little Methodist church about five blocks from my hotel, busting at the seams with people from every part of the world
- Weather- Sunny, humid, in the mid 90’s
- Price for Lunch- I will pay something today (probably 3.00 or less), but yesterday my school took us out to a fabulous Brazilian/Italian restaurant for free
- Price for Dinner- Nothing…yes, that’s right, I will spend about 3.00 on food for two days
- New Insights: Latin Pentecostals (who led evening prayer yesterday and don’t belong to the WCC) sknow how to worship with passion. Quite frankly, they showed all the rest of us staid mainline denominations up in terms of congregational participation and enthuasiasm. Maybe this points to one of the reasons why the charismatic church is exploding worldwide, while mainline denominations wither and die.
- Portuguese Word of the Day-“Deus, em tua graca, transforma o mundo”- “God, in your grace, transform the world”: This was the theme for the WCC assembly
- Best Experience of the Weekend- Singing praise songs loudly and enthusiastically with a room of rather charismatic Methodists from around the world during Sunday morning worship.
- Amount of Sleep Last Night- 8.5 hours
