It makes me wonder. <br /><br />We have a library full of a mish-mash of books, but it's my pastor's office where I go to borrow anything relevant.<br /><br />Sorry about your church study. My great sorrow at not having a professorship may be that I don't have an office with shelves for all my books. Our (very Presbyterian) church offices each have a wall of bookshelves. It reminds me more of the University English Department than the (evangelical) church offices where I grew up. :-)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399916226004495031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3907440527168314545.post-60387549137753937642013-07-19T09:06:51.671-04:002013-07-19T09:06:51.671-04:00Yes, I have hundreds of books in my personal libra...Yes, I have hundreds of books in my personal library -- most of them at home, since there's no place at church for them. Kind of interesting, huh -- the church created a beautiful little study for the pastor, but one without space for more than a few books.

That's exactly ...Your library sounds terrific. That's exactly what I'd like our library to be. A previous pastor had a humongous personal library. I used to meet with him regularly for spiritual direction, and he was always recommending books for me to read. Since his departure we were pastorless for three years, had a very short term interim, were pastorless again, and finally called a part time minister. She is a complete newbie -- this is her first call, and she has only a few books in her personal library. <br />Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06420035725875000489noreply@blogger.com
