I have been facilitating a Theology on Tap since June, and that loud pub problem is the single largest issue. There are precious few bars in my small town (suburb of Tulsa), so we moved it to the (only) coffeeshop, which also has a noise problem. ...
From sitting on our laurels as the Established Church, the Church of Empire. From expecting people to come, from internicine fights over sexuality, etc, etc.
Saint Francis very nearly made peace with the Muslims, after going to the Sultan of Egypt. To this day the Franciscans are guardians of many Christian holy sites in the region because of his faithfulness to peacemaking.
I am torn between the Urban and the Rural needs. Not sure which way I will be going in the future. How different is your community in needs from an urban one?
Good morning,
Do you have any companions that share with you, the daily prayer time of the Office? I have found community to be very life giving in this commitment.
For those in the Diocese of Oklahoma
Karen,
That Brian McLaren link did not work for me, could you check it? I also agree with you, it is time to move on to God's work.

- What you do for fun and re-creation?
- I like doing things with my hands, I have a small shop where tinker around with small projects. I enjoy old cars, my church, and travel when I can. I also like going to museums, since I am a big history buff, watching sci-fi, Lost, Heroes are my current favorites. I Love action movies, but I’m not big on horror. The occasional opera and philharmonic can be fun as well.

recycle vestments
My Parish has a request from some friends connected to a Church in Ghana. We are wondering if any one knows of a vestment and vessel 'recycling' program anywhere? They are so expensive and hard to truly wear out.
Any ideas?

Feast of the Transfiguration 6 August
Today, the Church remembers the radical change in appearance of Our Lord Jesus Christ, while in the presence of Peter, James, and John, on a high mountain. The Transfiguration revealed Christ's glory to His disciples, in shining splendor of Uncreated Light.
For a moment the veil is drawn aside, and humans still on earth are permitted a glimpse of the heavenly reality, the glory of the Eternal Triune God. Before that small group of Apostles, Christ was shown greater than the Lawgiver (Moses) and… Continue

An emergent event coming in November in OKC "Worship in a Postmodern Accent. . . "
I was wondering if any of my fellow Okies or others nearby might be interested in this upcoming event:
Worship in a Postmodern Accent. . .
. . . November 6-8, 2008
How and where does worship fit into the myriad of sensory experiences in contemporary culture? Is it pushed to the margins, or can it be re-envisioned to fit squarely in the center of our lives? How can we conduct worship in a way that is molded by and relevant to who we are, which may seem absent from our houses of worship. In… Continue

Medical Crisis
Some of you know that my father had a heart valve replaced in late winter. He has been slowly recovering, but his lungs have been the major problem. As a child he had pneumonia three winters straight.
My sister just called, and Dad has been rushed to the hospital in the night with a major breathing problem which has turned out to be a bad case of pneumonia. The doctors do not think the antibiotics will work in time, and his outlook is grim.
Please pray for him, my mom and family. He has been t… Continue

- Hi Terry,
Well, Saturday night probably isn't a very good time for me,
but in order to experience this kind of service, I'd probably go!
Thanks for writing. Do you need any information about Anglican
Prayer Community?

Les said… - If it's the same guy he is the Anglican Dicoese of Newcastle in Australia. I was introduced to him last week and am meeting him for coffee next week. I am an ordained Baptist pastor but get the impression that the Anglican church in Australia can better support my pioneering church planting.

Kevin Montgomery said… - Actually, I have found that younger people like liturgical worship. What I find striking, though, is that a fair number have a fondness for Rite I.

- When we have 100 people between 2 Sunday services it's a good day. I'll have to check out the blog. In a couple of weeks I'm going to a TEC Office of Congregational Development seminar at Myrtle Beach called Start Up! Start Over! Pretty excited about it. Enid's a town of almost 50k, so we should be a stronger presence than we are now.
