    Clear Prejudice

    Most evenings my wife and I take a walk around our neighborhood, which includes a stroll through a cemetery. There are a mating pair of Great Horned Owls, and we have found where their nest is. This year they have two young owls. Each night we find them and watch their activities around dusk.

    Here is the interesting part. Like many towns our cemetery is divided by a fence into Protestant and Catholic sections. The owls refuse to go into the Catholic side of the cemetery. They go and perch on the fence from time to time, but they refuse to fly into or over that section. Say what you will about Great Horned Owls, but they are clearly not papists. Prejudiced maybe, but not guilty of popery.
    On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

    Doug,

    Why would they go over there? All the rats are running around the protestant side. You go where dinner is.

    Are you, perchance, laying the groundwork for some new approach to church growth? Maybe the owls are seeker sensitive in ways we've never thought of before.
