- What you do for fun and re-creation?
- Hike in the desert, listen to live music, cook, throw dinner parties, hang out around backyard fire pits, read the Sunday NY Times, take a weekly Sabbath.
- What do you see as some of the biggest challenges facing Anglicans today?
- So much hurt from who is "in" and who is "out." Sorting through what is essential to carry forward and what is simply cultural. Baggage from clericalism, racism, patriarchy, and colonalism.
- What do you see as some of the biggest opportunities for Anglicans today?
- Who doesn't want to be Anglican today.
Really. Even if people don't articulate it. Our historical theology is the perfect setting for holding a communal space for respectful diversity of belief. The theology of the incarnation that Anglicans embrace means working for the justice of the earth and all people is holy work. Our liturgy is beautiful. We don't have to invent everything, we already have a sensual, sacred form. Something that taps into ancient roots. All of these are wonderful gifts that we get to share with the world.
- What do you want Anglimergent to be? and what other Anglimergent resources, gatherings, activities or events would you find helpful for your ministry?
- Intelligent, hopeful conversation full of humor and encouragement would be lovely. Honesty about struggles and sharing ideas without ego would be a treat. If a bunch of people with money pooled their resources and started a granting foundation just for Anglimergent, that would be a day to dance. One of our ministries at Join the Living is a magazine called Bread & Oranges coming out for the first time in fall 2008. I'd love some great writers and artists to submit their work. Hopefully it will eventually be a resource to bring hope, imagination, and more community to our shared work of sharing the love.
The Search for Signs of Life Tour
In the fall, my partner quit her big episco-church gig and we went on a research tour. We traveled the Western U.S. in a veggieoil/bio-diesel truckcamper to meet emerging and creative church folks first hand. Now we are back in Tucson cultivating community and trying some experiments.
Here are some pics from some of the episcopal related communities we visited. More at our website: www.jointheliving.com or blog.
