It could be I should be a multi-denominational — then I’d weigh at least 900 lbs. instead of the 450 I now weigh!

But, my fav. would have to be the Episcopal style — catered … but only if catered by my Baptist friend, Mary W. That would be a meal which could create a new ecumenical movement!

P.S. But, please, whatever persuasion — leave the store-bought fried & dried chicken or the family size store-bought frozen lasagna home. If you bring chicken or lasagna, make it real stuff.

[Woops! Cat walked on keyboard, hit Send.]

“Apparently you all missed the most egregious sin–calling it a “potluck” instead of a “potbless” like a previously attended “non-denominational charismatic” church. They also called them “angel eggs”.”

Sort of like “Freedom Fries” and “Freedom Kisses” back in the early days of the Iraq war.

Vicki,

I couldn’t get it all in, but I do love some fried okra!

Fr. Ernesto, isn’t a shrimp an animal? I’m pretty sure it’s not vegetable or mineral….

Anglicans do to have potlucks.

They just call them “wine and cheese socials.”

wmcwirla,

Trust me, us Anglicans (not least the anglo-catholic type) can hold our liquor just as good as any Roman Catholic or Orthodox. It’s just that Catholics drink lite beers and we go craft.

Although there was thing missing from the description Fr Matthews: Valet parking!

Brandon,
You have it worse than I do by far. You must be due north of me somewhere. Of course, Manitoba is a big place.
I was just remembering how much I miss the old homemade ice cream fellowships we would have on Sunday nights during the summer. Who cared about eating real food, those things were junk food heaven.

Adventists are fond of potluck but don’t have alcohol, coffee or tea, pork, or shrimp. No meat unless it’s a back-slidden church , and the most virtuous potlucks are vegan. We do have some really exciting, high-sodium fake meat products with names reminiscent of dogfood (Tender Bits, Dinner Cuts, Fri-chik).

That being said, potluck can be very good, especially among the more ethnic congregations.
