But it was still pretty uncomfortable between us. As for being disrespectful if she attended and did not participate, I think she and I may remember that differently because I can't imagine saying that, in that way.Lilylouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328027965155428624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-1165114352519870642006-12-02T18:52:00.000-08:002006-12-02T18:52:00.000-08:00My sister, who is now my best friend, refused to p...<I>My sister, who is now my best friend, refused to participate in or attend my ordination over religious differences. </I><BR/><BR/>In fairness, that wasn't out of spite, but that she would have considered it a sin to participate in the ceremony. She did tell me at the time that she would have attended (which itself she would have found uncomfortable) but that you said it would be very disrespectful to be present without participating. It was a matter of conscience for her, not of anger. Would you have wanted her to take part, knowing it was a sin for her?Joelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02238001380092215123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30312228.post-1164939192348675442006-11-30T18:13:00.000-08:002006-11-30T18:13:00.000-08:00That is a good story.

I envy both the reconciliation and the substantial character of the disagreement. One does not have such a fight with someone who does not mean a great deal to one, of course. My only living close relative I communicate with only through a lawyer, since on some issues there is no point to reconciliation, which no doubt is a terrible thing to say. <BR/> LinguistFriendLinguistFriendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695715246663202212noreply@blogger.com
