Steven Hebbard is member #301 of Anglimergent. Mar 4

Your Anglican Church Body Affiliation (CofE, TEC, AMiA...) - Leave blank if not applicable: TEC

What you do for fun and re-creation?: Garden, walk my neighborhood, write poetry, read, read, read.

What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?: I believe the biggest threat to Anglicans is an unwillingness to recognize the new wineskins of the Spirit of God. But rather than seeing tradition as the primary rock in the road for Anglican church, I see affluence as our primary obstacle.

What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?: We are a church body that is very interested in being a church for the city. Like many churches that began in the city and then moved to the periphery of town, following the urban exodus of the 50's and 60's, our church was able to hold its position and, just now, is starting to refocus its attention from the suburbs to the city.

What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?: Honestly, I am not conversant enough with anglimergent to know what i want it to be. The larger emergent conversation has been helpful in causing many churches and church people to rethink their orientation toward the culture and their unanalyzed assumptions about what the church should be. I would like this discussion to become more robust within the Anglican communion, especially relearnming what it means to be a parish church and a church for the world.
