Alex Delgado, Unifier

While I was trying to get my tasks in line for today, Alex urgently called me into his room. He needed to show me his 'churches'. It was something that seemed very important to him. 'I have to show you something, Mama!'

When I went in there, I saw that he had lined up boxes in front of his L'il People Barn. Pointing to the boxes he said 'This is the Cathanist Church and this is the Lutheranist Church' and at the barn he said 'And this is the Methodist Church'. Then he showed me the school behind the Methodist Church and how his version meets with the 'Cathanist' church school.

Alex attends a community nursery school day camp, sponsored by the Methodist and Lutheran churches in the village. It's held in a school building connected to the Methodist church. A Catholic church is a few blocks away. It also has a nursery school with a playground in its backyard area. Apparently, Alex was thrilled to have united them all into one big school and playground on his table.

I asked where the Meeting House was and he pulled over his schoolhouse and placed it next to the Cathanist church. I asked him where the Meeting House School was and he said 'No. We don't go to Meeting house school anymore, Mama. We're not Quakers. We're Cathanists and we go to the Methodist Church.'

Yo George Fox, I'm happy for you with the Principles and no dogma and all and Imma letchu finish, but the Methodists have the best sandboxes of ALL TIME! Christian unity? Mission accomplished!
