Spiritually Speaking: Get schooled in meology, weology and theology

By Rod Anderson

Spiritually Speaking, (that is this column’s name after all) how’s your fall schooling in the faith going so far? If that’s a fair question in any and every school from preschools and kindergarten to graduate schools and lifelong learning classes, then it’s also a fair fall question one month into Sunday school and religious education courses about faith and theology.

Supports Butcher
I have to admit that Sherry Butcher’s commitment, advocacy and leadership as chair of the Heritage Preservation Commission in the early ’90s have been an inspiration to me and I am proud to follow in her footsteps. She laid the groundwork for future commissions’ work in protecting and raising awareness of Eden Prairie’s rural heritage.

The Democratic and Republican National Conventions may have lost some of their political purpose, but the experience is a lot like going to see the Super Bowl or the KISS and Rolling Stones reunion tours.
Twenty, 30 or even 40 years ago, Americans waited on pins and needles as delegates voted to see which candidate would get the political party nomination. Today, those races are decided well before the conventions, making these events really nothing more than huge political dog and pony shows.



Spiritually speaking: There is no need to fear organized religion

By Timothy Johnson

“I want to warn you, I haven’t been involved in organized religion since I was in confirmation as a young kid.” Those were the words of a new friend of mine a few months ago, uttered when he found out that I was a minister working with a religious organization.
This response points out the spirit of this age, maintained by many people ... a discomfort with or distrust of organized religion.
My first response to this sentiment is rather sarcastic ... “Would you prefer dis-organized religion?” If so, I have dozens of churches to point them to!

Supports Aho
I am supporting Brad Aho in his re-election to the Eden Prairie City Council in this upcoming election. As Eden Prairie’s representative on the Southwest Transitway Policy Advisory Committee, Brad Aho has been lobbying for Light Rail Transit Alignment 3A, which runs from downtown through Opus in Minnetonka, a stop at City West in Eden Prairie, through the Golden Triangle and past Eden Prairie Center and to the SouthWest station and west by Highway 5 where it terminates.
