There are some quaint, and still beautiful, aspects of Baptist tradition I'd hate to see us lose.

One that I was reminded of last night is that we, like most Baptist churches, still require "two Sabbaths" or "two Lord's Days" notice for calling a meeting.  I kind of hope we never change to "two Sundays" or "two weeks" notice... there is something deeply spiritual about the archaic terms, a reminder that a meeting is never 'just' about a matter to be presented, discussed or decided upoon, rather this aspcect of our life is as much "the Lord's" as the service of worship.

Of course, to 'two Sabbaths' could actually mean 8 days notice if you had a Monday meeting...!!
