Alert reader Sarah informed me that the author of a piece on NPR’s “All Things Considered” today might have been referring to THIS VERY LITTLE OLE BLOG in her discussion of clergy fashion.
After having heard the essay, I think the author has actually been reading a different clergy fashion blog, but I thank Sarah for referring me to the Reverend Mrs. Gudger Raines’ essay, which made me bite my nails in anxiety.
Meredith, honey, CALL ME! If you think that showing some of your “rounded bare shoulders” in the pulpit is going to help your West Viriginia Methodist congregation grasp the incarnation more fully, girl, you’re going to be out before you ever get IN!
If anyone knows Meredith, please refer her to me. We need to talk about sleeves, and about West Virginia.
The essay is here:

Doesn’t she just sound like the most earnest, gee-whiz new seminary graduate you ever heard? What a darling gal. Lord have mercy: let’s hope we get to her in time.
