I went for sacramental, too, just marginally more than herald. Another 19th Annotation transformation -- just last night I was writing about having told my director at the beginning of that retreat experience that I was not in the least a sacramentally oriented person and how, six months later, that had changed rather dramatically.
ReplyDeleteI scored barely there for church as an institution, though.
I never tend to pick extremes when taking these things so with a whopping 67%.... I fall into the mystical communion crowd? I like the name whether or not it's true.
ReplyDelete...artists and mystics go together? I was squarely sacramental, 95%, with a good dose of mystical communion (89%)...
