What you do for fun and re-creation?

In addition to being a full-time parent and spouse/partner, I love to spend time with people over other topics than "what's for dinner "and "have you done your homework." I read a lot of murder mysteries, walk on the beach and in the woods, knit as long as it's cool enough, and spin wool--from friends' sheep, dogs, and alpacas when I'm lucky enough to have it. I like to cook for celebrations. I'm also a Godly Play teacher. Godly Play creeps into many unanticipated aspects of my life!

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

I think a big challenge in my sponsoring parish, and for my future (and current) ministries is how to keep and enliven the stalwart membership--and shake things up a little bit for them, as well as to reach out to unserved/underserved both within the parish and beyond. Finding the Gospel balance in comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable--while maintaining/growing a pledging base, having excellent liturgy, etc.
