When I was going to seminary in Denver, the first year Crystal I lived there, I used public transportation as a primary means of transit. In Montana it is customary that we say hello and smile when we see someone on the street. When you live in larger cities this is not the custom. I don’t know if this because it would be overwhelming to say hi so much, or if this was just how hospitality is embraced in our culture and not in larger city culture. Whatever it is, I couldn’t resist nodding and saying hello to people on public transit. It became for me a sort of social experiment to see the reactions I would get. A few times it led to me striking up a conversation with individuals and getting to share a little bit of our stories with each other. When people discovered I was going to seminary they quickly had questions about what it meant to be Methodist. I met some very interesting people from all walks of life. . .
