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

Maintaining commmunion amid divergent cultural traditions and theological polarizations.

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

Growing in faith in our common God through dialogue and shared experiences with varied cultures; and growing in appreciation of one another as equally beloved children of God via the building of relationships through service to our broken and fragile world.

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

I would hope Anglimergent could provide a forum for sharing resources re emergent church programs, liturgy and ecumenical initiatives. Regional gatherings woud aslo be helpful for exploring how God is re-forming God's church as well as for building a network for sharing resoures, testing ideas and supporting one another's adventures into ministry.
