Ladies, if you’re anywhere around Bangor, Pennsylvania, you still have time to head on over to the Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center this weekend for and Episcopal Church retreat called Mens’ Lives: Journeys and Transitions:
Through story, poetry and song-presentations, dialogue and exercise-movement, contemplation-worship and silence, participants will share their loves as men.
Form a single line.

#23  Been to a couple of military retreats - those weren't bad, especially the one in Bertchesgaden. Of course, there's a world of difference between a half-dozen military chaplains and an Episcopalian bishop... especially the guy we had speak who had been a Green Beret in Vietnam. Not sure I'd be able to make it this weekend anyway - it's a long walk to Pennsylvania, and I need a new pair of shoes.

#21  You gotta be fucking kidding me. First they elect the cake-eating bishop & now this shit? I thought us Catholics had it bad.

#20  I'm with YOU guys - "sharing our loves" ... um, I like mine exclusive but those who want this sort of thing should go to Esalen on the California coast south of Monterey - they've been doing it longer and in any case the mineral hot springs there are great to soak in late at night ... you can usually see the Milky Way and the sea otters play in the kelp beds at the base of the cliffs ...

female Episcopalian MDiv who will remain firmly anonymous on this one!!

There, now I feel validated.
