hey kelly, re b2

Posted by tRuMaN (aka Truman) Dec 31 '08, 07:02

you do have an understanding of the basic structure of christianity right?

you should probably be fine. If they ask you about what church/faith you attend, answer truthfully, you just moved done here recently and you are still trying to find a church for you.

I will warn though, sometimes there is pressure to be there for at least a mass or so each month. Also, depending on the job, you may have to work on sundays to help count the offerings.

Responses:

my take on this is that church is very community-oriented and "corporate" fit will likely be important to them. - auld lang syne loves mandy lane Dec 31, 07:15
in Catholic parishes I have known, the Sunday work was all volunteers. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:08 1
- it sometimes depends on the size of the church, etc. - tRuMaN Dec 31, 07:12
Ummm...kinda sorta. - kelly Dec 31, 07:06 21
- You could research the structure of the United Methodist Church before an interview if you're interested. I don't think you necessarily - Diva Dec 31, 07:14 10
  - I just think you need to be able to answer questions related to the masses, the calendars, such as that...... - Will Hunting Dec 31, 07:24 9
    - Yep. And do Methodists call the services "mass" or just "service" like a lot of other Protestant denominations? -- nm - Diva Dec 31, 07:27 6
      - "mass" is pretty limited, isn't it? Catholics say that, obviously, but I don't know about Lutherans and Episcopalians. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:32 5
        
        Episcopalians who used to be Catholics still say mass or they feel guilty otherwise. - TFox Dec 31, 07:33 2
        
        This is true. Our church has alot of ex-Catholics and they all say it and cross themselves frequently :) -- nm - oblique Dec 31, 07:35 1
        
        I still cross myself too. Now that I think about it, SheFox probably thinks its totally an Episcopal thing. - TFox Dec 31, 07:37
        
        Lutherans call it a service (at least I do). The bread/wine is communion (not generally refered to as eucharist) -- nm - oblique Dec 31, 07:33
        
        Lutherans do not call it "mass". -- nm - Diva Dec 31, 07:32
    - Yeah, probably, but that would almost definitely fall under the skill set of "can you read a calendar out loud?" - TFox Dec 31, 07:27 1
      - Fucker. -- nm - kelly Dec 31, 07:31
- IMO - Strongbad Dec 31, 07:08
- I wouldn't think it would be a major consideration, really. -- nm - TFox Dec 31, 07:07 7
  - (Like, they aren't going to give you a "Christianity competency" quiz, or make you pray at the beginning of the interview.) -- nm - TFox Dec 31, 07:08 6
    - I dont they can - tRuMaN Dec 31, 07:11 3
      - As would expecting them to attend services or whatever. Churches are still businesses, despite all the churching. -- nm - TFox Dec 31, 07:14 2
        
        I didnt say it was a requirement - tRuMaN Dec 31, 07:17
        
        a friend of mine worked as admin for a church in Boston for years, never once went to a service, nor was ever pressured to go. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:15
    - Bible Verse Jeopardy! -- nm - Strongbad Dec 31, 07:09
    - oh goodness no. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:09
- I think the best way to find out is to go to the interview and be up front about those things. -- nm - loosilu Dec 31, 07:07
I suppose sometimes that could happen, but it'd be rare. My stepdad's a priest, I can't imagine he would ever care, or expect them at services. -- nm - TFox Dec 31, 07:04
