Geonz,
I really liked that article, too. I tend to be leery of organized religion in general, but Quakers are among those I can sincerely respect (generally anyone who can count as a conscientious objectioner in terms of war) and that article was very thoughtful and made a lot of sense.

I only wish I lived closer to town. Everyone talks about 1-2 mile rides to get groceries etc... is that round trip? It's 3 miles to my nearest store (one way) so that makes it hard for me to really *want* to get up and go, but I do... (better than driving) maybe... someday... I'll find somewhere to live on a real road...

Kit - add Unitarians to your list of non-leery organized religeons.

We're pretty cool. Check us out. www.uua.org

Our church has a women's triathlon team, and the team has been working on getting more awareness of the biking option for churchgoers.

Like pointing out that we DO have a bike rack next to the building. We have no dress code, so I could even wear my bike skort to service if I wanted.

One of our ministers posted info about the Cascade bike club's $10 helmets sale. Now I'm starting to think of other ways I could push the biking lifestyle next spring (good weather brings out the bikers).

Knot- they were already on my list.
But I'm not going to go into the 'who's on my list and who isn't' because I'd start offending people, and really, there are a lot of people in faiths not on my list (or on that other list) who are really, really great people. *shrug*
