Union Seminary has gone full bore pagan

Today in chapel, we confessed to plants. Together, we held our grief, joy, regret, hope, guilt and sorrow in prayer; offering them to the beings who sustain us but whose gift we too often fail to honor.

What do you confess to the plants in your life?

[Gamecock]

Granted they were pretty much pagan to begin with.

Romans 1 is really in play here.

Union's campus is where faith and scholarship meet to reimagine the work of justice.

My plants are dead.
Sorry guys, my bad.
On the bright side, look how much water I conserved.

[DannyTN]

I think one of my ex’s was a plant.
When she couldn’t find me doing something wrong, she impeached me anyway.

“What do you confess to the plants in your life?”

We used to soak cat tails in gasoline to use as torches. We were imitating the peasants in the old horror movies.

[fishtank]

Rejoice while mowing the grass!!!

[Gamecock]

I laughed at that. Should I confess to a cat tail?

New King James Version

Isaiah 44:19
And no one considers in his heart, Nor is there knowledge nor understanding to say, “I have burned half of it in the fire, Yes, I have also baked bread on its coals; I have roasted meat and eaten it; And shall I make the rest of it an abomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?”

[Mogger]

While this "confessing to plants" is nuts, read "The Secret Life of Plants".

They do sense and remember some things.

My plants are dead.

Well, does, er, did one produce any gourds...? /Life of Brian

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

I remember the plants that sensed things back in the early 1970s.

[Albion Wilde]

Oh, gosh. But let me say this: one of the most obviously gay guys I’ve ever known was accepted at Union in 1968; can this be far behind? (no pun intended)

I worked with a fellow whose wife was an environmental officer at a small Aur Force facility. He said that she always felt guilty when mowing the grass. (He was mostly normal.)

Those purple plants that look like a cross between cattails and Indian corn are called Purple Majesty Millet...I guess that sounds sort of godlike.

Ok noes...now I feel bad for eating a salad every night.

Endive has feelings too...

[piasa]

Well... there is a relative of a prayer plant in there.
