'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Also, I think Episopal is too Catholic for me, liturgically. I said I have a lot of issues!
Yeah, for me it was a good transition back to protestantism after going to mass every week at college. I really liked the Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims in Brooklyn Heights, both for the service and its history (Henry Ward Beecher was their first minister, stop on the Underground Railroad, etc.), but its location wouldn't really work for you.
Grace is such a pretty church, too! I lived right by it when I was in the NYU dorm. Really historic, as well.
The Church of Satan was incredibly open and welcoming for me.
OK, I've never actually been to the Church of Satan. But the cool thing about the Church of Satan is it's OK to lie....

I basically grew up here, and still have lots of ties.
Oh hey, my best friend growing up went to Grace Church School. That's all I know about it though.
Kat, no neat Buddhist temples up your way?
Also, I think Episopal is too Catholic for me, liturgically.
That's too bad. I love the Episcopal church. The main thing that stops me from going is that it would mean getting out of the house before 2 PM on a Sunday, which looks like it may never happen again unless I'm staying with someone else. Man, I am lazy!
Oh, and the god issue.
So, I've just finished grading half the projects. Kill me now. Only one person got more than a C so far.
I will keep them in mind, brenda, thanks. I think my next two attempts will be this apparently liberal Lutheran church in my neighborhood, and Judson, which is so much like the church I grew up in it is laughable, although last time I checked, they also had the stuff that made me insane about the church I grew up in. But they have a new minister since I was there last, so who knows.

Seriously, this robot is awesome, but very freaky to watch.
Site seems a bit slow at the moment....
eta: If you can wait for it - the scene where it walks on ice and repeatedly almost falls and then recovers is absolutely amazing. It slipped so bad it fell on its knees twice, but still got back up.
eta²: OMG, the fucking thing can gallop. OK, I guess it's more of a prance....
Can I tell you how much I'm not fond of this grading system where 93 is a B and 86 is a C?
93 is a B and 86 is a C?
???? How is that even possible?
But it's a minor fib, on the order of, say, handing a cashier an expired coupon.
But, handing a cashier an expired coupon, if they don't catch it, causes their drawer to be short, and then they get into trouble! I don't think that is very nice....
