fishers, surfers and casters

While coding data from blogs I found an old reference to a quiz that tells you what kind of Christian you are. I played and to little surprise I was place in the postmodern/emergent camp. But then I tooled around the site and found this out:

You Scored as Goth That’s awesome! Go you! Goth 74% Emo Kid 73% Geek/Nerd 73% Loner 60% Punk 53% Stoner 40% Hot 33% Prep 13% “Ghetto” 0% Jock 0%

Really? Me? I should get some of the old clothes out. No doubt they’d still fit perfectly.

I am a volunteer treasurer for an association of ministers in the Uniting Church, so every while I receive bank statements. Pretty run-of-the-mill stuff. We don’t spend a lot, so normally the statement only has interest credit recorded on it.

Today the statement came with a newsletter, talking about the current global financial crisis and how the institution can help those wanting more security, yada yada yada. The financial institution is managed by one of our church’s synods, so no big surprise that the newsletter is called Mustard Seed.

No big surprise, sure, but really disconcerting. It bothers me that the newsletter’s title takes me to the story of how faith can grow, and yet is used to talk about money.

Should I be bothered?
