eric,
it's kind of like this: when in a serious dialogue when one or more party is feeling pain, distrust, anger, or other emotion, there often isn't an authentic desire to be molded, shaped, or trimmed - but a desire to be heard, and to have the ot…
i find that we often tell folks they ought to live in humility. but the conversation is usually both parties demanding the same from the other:
: you need to see where i am coming from, and then you'd understand and change your ways

i find we often take a splinter of a perspective and run with it, regardless of consequence.
and we often argue against something, even if something beautiful is also to be found in that which we disagree with -
and this causes disassociation, it c…

what are the breathtaking scenes in our midst?
what are the moments we experience that bring joy, sorrow, pride, or trembling?
what are the alarms of life that awake us from our slumber?
are we awake enough to be aware of them - can we experienc…

every now and then, something happens that causes a shift in our perception. in our expectations. in our understanding of reality, community, etc.
typically, such shifts aren't from having a seen something that never was, but a gla…
heidi,

stumbling through old graveyards, isn't everybody's favorite past-time. heck, it's not even mine. but, i was put in awe by many scenes i saw in this particular one in south carolina.

Anglimergent Page for The Episcopal Church, USA (TEC).
odds are, the chains of life are very similar to the chains that bind us as a community.
what are these chains and how can we be liberated from them?
it's not always easy to look in our closet and actually put a name on the skeletons, but after…
karen,
the article is like a flower in bloom, and i found many of the analogies very intriguing.
many it seems, when a discussion concerning anything "emergent" occurs, there is always some sort of talk of change.
i, on the other hand, think this wo…

i think it's more of an intentional issue. of a purpose issue. or an ideological one.
just as our words are not self-referential, so too all of life's moments, while they have meaning, are not in and of themselves the meaning.

- hang out with the family. read, write, and study a variety of things. my trees in pots seem to take up some time as well.
- What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?
- this guy once spoke of how we speak and still resonating love. i think that's the challenge. to share our ideas without having the ideas drive out love.
- What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?
- a history of such communication. in any parish you'll find an affirmation that we are 'one' - even as we are all differing in many ways.
regarding the world around us - we have such an opportunity to continue to engage and incarnate our faith in such a way that it resonates in so many ways with others.
