- What you do for fun and re-creation?
- Hang with my church community and friends, enjoy cool little ethnic restaurants, listen to electronic music (down tempo, drum and bass, hip hop, 4x4, illbient, idm) mac computer geeking, Belgian beer geekery, travel, movies, writing, instigating change and emergence!
- What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?
- To give URGENT and FOCUSED RESOURCES and ATTENTION to growing in the 'Five Marks of Mission,' especially 'evangelical outreach' amongst emerging generations and to bless, release and credential solid, young missioners to LEAD TEC in incubating and planting new churches and ministries that are 'native' within today's culture and capable of speaking into the brokenness, hurts and longings of our world, against injustice, poverty and oppression in our world, and nurturing the capacities for beauty , goodness, action and service within our cultures and our world, as our human participation in the Reign/Kingdom of God.
- What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?
- The same as above !
- What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?
- A place for Anglicans to be friends across tired, modern 'liberal/conservative' divides. A place to cast dreams, share resources, bear one another's burdens and celebrate life together in our communion.

- Sabbatical clergy for live-work-reflect 'Emmergence
(1-3 weeks) in Seattle.
- Emerging church planters for live-work-reflect
residencies (2-4 weeks).
I also do keynote speaking at diocesan events on pretty much everything related to Anglican approaches to and giftings for emerging church and mission (liturgy/ alternative worship, church plants, fresh expressions of church, missiology, neo monastic church, empowering the next generations in mission...). - EMAIL ME if you plan to visit Seattle or if you have a diocesan or national Anglican event you want me to be part of. -
PARTNER WITH CHURCH OF THE APOSTLES MISSION
Church of the Apostles, Seattle is seeking mission partner parishes and individual donors willing to partner and 'Stand with Us' in serving God's mission in the most non-churched zip-code in the United States. - By 2010 we aim to go off mission status and become a young, financially self-sustaining parish. We need you help to get there! - Gifts of up to $ 6,000 are needed for basic mission operations (rent, basic equipment, chairs, help with staffing support). Donors who can give $ 6,000-$ 250,000 are needed to Stand With Us as we seek to Free our Abbey! to buy and renovate an old church building we are recycling and morphing into an emerging, urban Abbey and community arts center for our neighborhood.

Yes, although the official announcement won't go out until sometime next week.
Hope to meet you next month!
Brandy and I leave in one week. First stop is Taize, then Germany, then Greenbelt. After that, it is London for about four months. We are really excited!
Thanks for the heads up about the phone. We hope to get one quickly after touching down in England.
Hope to catch you at Greenbelt!
Lester is part of our congregation. I will tell him hello.
Peace, Peter+
I'm looking at airline tickets. Can you remind me of the exact times of our meeting?
Thanks.
Thank you for your note of welcome. I was so impressed by your presentations these past week. You were so clearly rooted in the tradition yet so open to how that tradition can speak to our present culture if we trust in the Spirit to guide our work.
I will be following up with you regarding a number of things when I return to Vancouver, but I will keep in mind the Anglican studies programme.
Blessings,
Richard
Peace,
Travis
