Benedict Varnum left a comment for Karen Ward"Hi Karen -- quick question (I hope you're a/the person to ask): I want to post under the Ministry with Youth, but that option isn't available in the drop-down list of choices. Thoughts?

Benedict Varnum left a comment for Karen Ward"Hi Karen -- thanks for the welcome! I'd love to see any sort of fresh conversations about the church on here -- what TEC can be in the world, how we're serving that mysterious 20-30s population, what ministry looks like with technology . .…"
Karen Ward left a comment for Benedict Varnum"Dear Benedict,
I'm curious as to what is on your mind for conversation here?!
as we need the input of fresh voices (seminarians and postulants) in our midst.
Maybe there could be a Postlants 'Group' started here?
Also, will you be…"

- What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?
- Articulating the mission of Christ in a culture that has lost the vocabulary of the heart and soul in the anxious frenzy and loss of courage that modernity created by its push for "progress" and the false dichotomy between science and religion. Among other things.
- What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?
- I believe that articulating the vision of the kingdom of God is an opportunity in any story . . . we need to be wrestling our own stories through the night and demanding blessing from them, for God was with us all along.
- What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?
- I'm still exploring it. If it hooks me, I will DEFINITELY be sharing this!

Also, will you be at the Diocese of Chicago Clergy Conference this Oct 18-20 at St. Mary's Seminary (Mundelein)? as I don't know if your diocese allows postulants to attend the clergy events or not.
I'm coming to do some talks at this, related to my paper 'Seizing the Episcopal Moment' which is posted on the TEC 'group' page.
if you read it, let me know what you think of it.
Cheers
