[personal profile] tree_and_leaf, employee of the Anglican church, fills out her census form:

And pondering how to describe the main activity of my employer or business (since, while I'm 'not in paid employment' actually means my employer last year, meaning either the Abbey or the Dean, depending on how you look at it.)

So tempted to write "The work of God. And tourism."


Context is flocked, QWP, and thinking of future historians

This reminds me of a quote from one of my old religion professors, who, when filling out the bookstore order forms, got to the Oxford Study Bible. "I put down the name: Oxford Study Bible. Then they asked for 'author', and I paused, and finally filled in, 'Spirit, comma, Holy.'"

A friend of mine who files all her books alphabetically by author has a bible under Y. For Yahweh. In whom I don't think she believes.

Well, really, as a compilation/collection, wouldn't it be alphabetized by editor? Of course, this might make it difficult to keep all the Bibles together, not to mention most of them these days seem to be edited by committee. (Translated, edited, whatever)
