- What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?
- To give URGENT and FOCUSED RESOURCES and ATTENTION to growing in the 'Five Marks of Mission,' especially 'evangelical outreach' amongst emerging generations and to bless, release and credential solid, young missioners to LEAD TEC in incubating and planting new churches and ministries that are 'native' within today's culture and capable of speaking into the brokenness, hurts and longings of our world, against injustice, poverty and oppression in our world, and nurturing the capacities for beauty , goodness, action and service within our cultures and our world, as our human participation in the Reign/Kingdom of God.
- What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?
- The same as above !
- What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?
- A place for Anglicans to be friends across tired, modern 'liberal/conservative' divides. A place to cast dreams, share resources, bear one another's burdens and celebrate life together in our communion.
About Karen and Church of the Apostles, Seattle
I am an 'urban Abbess/Vicar' at COTA (Church of the Apostles, Seattle, Diocese of Olympia, WA) a five year old, intentional, sacramental, Christian community. - I have come home down the Canterbury Trail via a long and winding road. I love my Apostles' community, my diocese, and our Communion, and I'm excited to do whatever I can to participate in emergence within the world wide Anglican tribe. - I am also one of two Anglicans on the board of Emergent Village.
Our community has a small mission center, called Praxis.
Via Praxis, we curate or host:
- Diocesan Learning Parties for parish teams.
- Diocesan Learning Days or retreats for clergy.
- 'Abbess in residence' weeks at seminaries.
- Seminary classes and J-term groups coming to Seattle.
- Seminary interns (one month to a year) at COTA
- Sabbatical clergy for live-work-reflect 'Emmergence
(1-3 weeks) in Seattle.
- Emerging church planters for live-work-reflect
residencies (2-4 weeks).
I also do keynote speaking at diocesan events on pretty much everything related to Anglican approaches to and giftings for emerging church and mission (liturgy/ alternative worship, church plants, fresh expressions of church, missiology, neo monastic church, empowering the next generations in mission...). - EMAIL ME if you plan to visit Seattle or if you have a diocesan or national Anglican event you want me to be part of. -

Donors who can give $ 6,000-$ 250,000 are needed to Stand With Us as we seek to Free our Abbey! to buy and renovate an old church building we are recycling and morphing into an emerging, urban Abbey and community arts center for our neighborhood.

I am unable to get us connected with Courtney this afternoon as I had hoped. I will get back to you after your trip to Chicago to see if we can reschedule. Hope Chicago goes well. I'll be interested to hear.
Thanks, Fred

I'll look forward to the list nearer the time.

Peace.
Hope you are well!
This is a great idea! Way to go coming up with it. COTA was actually the one thing I found on the internet that was close to what we wanted to do. It helped me articulate Anglicanism (Since I was the only Anglican...and the only liturgical person of the founding group.)
Thanks for the invitation. I don't know if I'll be able to swing any Conspiracy meetings, but I'm certain our paths will cross in realspace.
