Yet there are moments of tenderness, especially in pastoral care. Those of us who've carried out that role know how tender, exhausting and exhilarating those journeys are - and how uneasily they sit with the ecclesiastical bitchiness that is so much a part of ecclesianity. Come to think about it, maybe it was the bitch in me that reach the point where I did not want to read another sermon and then have it followed by comments on how wondrously gobsmacked the listeners were. I'm happy to read sermons from time to time, and even blog my own, but if they're wondrously good I'd prefer to allow the reader or listener to decide for themselves. No, I'm sorry, it all became a little self-congratulatory after a while. And the piano lessons? Yeah I got that they were respite from ministry and that the young tutor was a spunk, but even that became "oh my goodness I am good," after a while.
