Hello,
After the great advice offered on belated wedding gift thank you notes I though I'd ask about a issue I was wondering about.
Here's the deal: A friend of mine's priest (pastor whatever) asked him out to dinner, he politely evaded the offer. The friend's gay with a bf btw. (I'm not, so fear not GC hotties
). Anyway, the whole thing seemed to this friend as looking like a closer relationship than he wanted to have with his priest.
He rang this friend the other week while he was on hols and again last week and he asked him for dinner again, he went, 'err err I, I er don't know". And the Priest said "well, get back to me".
Personally I find the whole thing pretty funny but the etiquette question is that my friend was thinking of dropping a polite letter through his door, saying either "phone me again and I'm telling Jesus" or "thank you for your kind offer, but as my priest i'd rather keep our relationship as that".
There's got to be a polite way of dissuading his charms (my friend is getting the distinct impression the priest is uhm, taking a ... special interest in this one member of the congregation) by letter without souring the whole appropriate priest relationship thing as I guess he doesn't want to switch churches.
- Decadence.
