Ryan finds the minister\u2019s sermons \u201cpretty interesting.\u201d\u009d The coffees afterward are \u201cpretty average,\u201d\u009d he said. \u201cWe sit around and talk to a few people, talk to the priest a little bit.\u201d\u009d When asked if he knows why his dad stopped going to church, Ryan said, \u201cHe probably just one day was watching a Mets game, said \u201d\u02dcI don\u2019t want to go to church\u2019 and just stopped going.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
Among the many reasons Ryan wanted to go: he\u2019s a big reader, enjoys fantasy literature and has seen theories suggesting the world may end in 2013 due to the configuration of magnetic forces. In that case, he said, it would be nice to be on good terms with God.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve come to look forward to Sunday morning,\u201d\u009d Mr. Sweeney said. \u201cThe newspaper, the chores \u201d\u201d all the other plans and good intentions can wait. It is a nice way to spend a couple of hours with my son and get him out of his room and off the computer. I reflect on the week.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
