Whatever I feel like doing.

What you do for fun and re-creation?

Garden. Cook. Opera, Medieval Music. Collect Native American pottery, Guatemalan weaving.

What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?

Inculturation of the liturgy.
I increasingly suspect that what we do in church on Sunday is not how must people would worship if we let them.

What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?

The economic crisis might be a blessing in disguise for our churches. Now more than ever Vestries and leadership are going to have to evaluate their clergy not in terms of how happy they are with them but in terms of how the congregation is able to welcome and support new members as they consider the Christian life. The engine behind this, I am sorry to say, will not be evangelical zeal, but meeting the budget. Hey, God uses the strangest motives!

What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?

A site to share resources and experiences, and do some disciplined thin king about these.
