This is a group for those who are intentionally New Monastic Communities who are emerging and Anglican/Episcopal or are from churches who are in full covenant with Anglican/Episcopal provinces
What about a space that invites collaboration, so that what was prepared at the beginning is more of a blank canvas- and by the end of convention has become a tangible expression of the prayers and presence of those who came. Maybe start off with ...
A group creating a prayerful space at the 2009 General Convention of the Episcopal Church in Anaheim, CA as a service to the conventioneers in order to share with the broader church what emerging worship is and looks like instead of talking about it.
A way for Anglicans to get off the consumeristic grid by practicing and receiving the gift of no cost housing hospitality on the couches and in the guest rooms of other Anglicans, in a similar manner as Couchsurfing.com

What you do for fun and re-creation?
paint, write, sleep, go to church, read and read some more, play with my son, play with my dog, make long obsessive lists and then sleep some more.
What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?
getting bogged down in the details and missing some of the glory. Not laughing at ourselves enough. Becoming complacent with "how Episcopalians are"
What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?
I think our rich history and middle way places us in a delightful spot where we can grow and envision new things without loosing our solid roots.
What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?
I want to start a real live- non-virtual, Anglimergent group here in Portland. I want to have many conversations with people different from myself who long for the same things.

It was very good to meet you last Saturday. Too bad we were not able to chat some more. I am interested in hearing more about your job, your community, your dream of the peace & justice gig. But we always have the interweb.
Hi, Kerlin!
You are amazing. Read the news in The Oregonian. I wish you well with Hip Mama. The previous owner gave St. M a try several years ago, but it didn't catch. She was a friend of Lani Jo Leigh.
Say Hi to Jordan and to Adin!
Alice and I are doing well. I do like retirement - the flexibility and opportunity to be creative in new ways. I miss people and the interactions a lot, but not all the responsibilities.
Glad you connected with Karen Ward who we got to know in the 1990's in catechumenal process.
Best to you.
