St. Laurence Church, Southlake, Texas

This is a lovely church in our diocese, St. Laurence in Southlake. I have been a guest Sunday school teacher there recently. I am teaching a version of the "Christianity and the Eastern Religions" course I offered at St. Vincent's Cathedral last summer. Today we began our discussion of Buddhism, having covered Hinduism in September. The course will run for five more weeks and will also cover Taoism and Confucianism. Of course, I still have duties at the cathedral as well, so this morning I served as subdeacon at St. Vincent's at 7:30 AM, then raced over to Southlake in order to teach my 9:45 class. Attendance at the class was good (perhaps more than eighty people). It makes for a busy morning, but it has also been quite rewarding. The good folks at St. Laurence have been very welcoming.
