Sunday Breakfast

May 25, 2008

I was having coffee with a couple of friends the other day, one who faithfully attends a church she doesn’t like and the other who, having recently left a church, doesn’t attend anywhere.

The faithful attender asked me whether some mutual friends of ours had found a church yet.

While my mental response was, “hell no, they’re not even looking,” my actual response was, “they are enjoying their Sunday morning breakfasts.”

The non-attender friend said, “Yes we are too. Maybe we should start a breakfast club.”

“Next thing you know someone would call it a church.”

“Then there would be disagreements about syrup.”

“And sausage versus bacon.”

“Eventually someone would split off to have their own non-pork breakfast.”

Breakfast. It’s complicated.
