my ability to avoid writing sermons is well developed for a non-ordained preacher...







You’re St. Justin Martyr!


You have a positive and hopeful attitude toward the world. You think that nature, history, and even the pagan philosophers were often guided by God in preparation for the Advent of the Christ. You find “seeds of the Word” in unexpected places. You’re patient and willing to explain the faith to unbelievers.


Find out which Church Father you are at The Way of the Fathers!





Which one are you?

This is great! :) I love procrastination :) My results below...

You’re St. Melito of Sardis!

You have a great love of history and liturgy. You’re attached to the traditions of the ancients, yet you recognize that the old world — great as it was — is passing away. You are loyal to the customs of your family, though you do not hesitate to call family members to account for their sins.

Procrastination is a way of life! The quiz tells me:

You’re St. Jerome!

You’re a passionate Christian, fiercely devoted to Jesus Christ and his Church. You are willing to labor long hours in the Lord’s vineyard, and you have little patience with those who are less willing or able to work as you do. Your passions often carry you into temptation zones of wrath, lust, and pride.

Who knew?

My quiz results are surprising. I love stuff like this.

You are Origen!

You do nothing by half-measures. If you’re going to read the Bible, you want to read it in the original languages. If you’re going to teach, you’re going to reach as many souls as possible, through a proliferation of lectures and books. If you’re a guy and you’re going to fight for purity … well, you’d better hide the kitchen shears.

You’re Tertullian!

You possess many gifts, but patience isn’t one of them. You’re tough on yourself — and on others. You’re independent, too, and you don’t like to be told what to do. You wish the Church would be a little tighter in discipline. As for the pagans, you’ve pretty much written them off. Sometimes you think the Church would be a better place if you were in charge.

Was I sleeping in Church History? Who is this guy? The results are a little frightening though as I wasn't even sure what some of the answers meant nor in some cases could I relate to any of the answers. Not to mention the fact that apparently I don't know how to paste an HTML. I got back a message that my HTML couldn't be accepted. If anyone is interested like Jenn I too am St Melito of Sardis.
Hmmm....

And I actually am putting off sermon work! I too am St Melito.
