Reminds me of many of Eugene England's personal essays, no matter how brief. As one who has responsibilities in both the "hospital" and "political" wards, you captured the magic of church service and community that I have grown to love, even as I try to love the residents of those wards more all the time.

The first things I've always thought of when thinking about the word "ward" are mental wards and prison wards. You'd understand if you knew anything about my family. This is lovely.

Thank you Kristine, and I will echo what m&m said, that this is why I love the church so much. When it works the way it is supposed to it is such a perfect combination of practical busyness and tender care and spiritual uplift. And thank you to all of you here at BCC for your interesting and thought provoking posts. I come here often, though this is the first time I have posted.

You have helped articulate why I love my ward so much -- it's a combination of these two types of wards. Thank you for this post. Beautiful, Kristine.
