Ministers and trivia

January 5th

minister

Which profession is our illustrious Minister planning format named after? If you’re like me, your thoughts probably turned to a member of the clergy.

But as Karen recently explained, the name takes its cue from the French word for “Secretary” – i.e., Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Education, etc. (We use the word in that sense in English, too, of course, but it’s not as common — at least, not here in the States.)

Inneresting, eh?

    Ah! Interessant! :) I guess I’m a minister of my own education. LOL

    I was hoping it would be geared for clergy and would have a full listing for Sunday. Lots of folks have very busy Sundays and most planners almost ignore the day.

    True, Renee- even more important for students (especially grad-students) is 12am-12am. :)
