Chapter and verse

Several weeks ago I found Bible Scattergories in one of our local charity shops. It was a $2 bargain, but I've been hard pressed to find anyone who wants to play (strange...)

Imagine my joy to be invited over to Loren and Tamara's house for an evening of Bible food (red lentil soup, loaves and fishes snacks) and a game. It's what Hannah and I did those degrees in theology for!

Unfortunately things didn't work out quite as planned. Loren and Tamara are Mormons, and as part of their missionary work actually have to learn about the Bible (something we never really bothered with at uni). We were somewhat humiliated but, honestly, how many Assyrian controlled towns beginning with H can you think of?

Results:

Durham University Department of Theology and Religion: 0
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints: 1



The sweet taste of victory.
