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

Re-sacralizing the reality of our Christian life by returning to what Jesus taught: Love, forgiveness, radical inclusion. Reinventing the church--not doing things the old way but being open to the new & exciting ways God is calling us. Helping people connect their practice with their faith. Helping people derive meaning in life. Being a voice against some of the insidious social values.

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

We have a rich heritage & we are wildly incarnational. If we can find a way to put that into practice in new ways & reenergize our congregations while reaching out to those who have been burned by organized religion, then we will go far.

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

A discussion about what people are doing. How people are engaging young people and the arts. Local gatherings & discussions
