This weekend we will stamp our 100th birthday celebration as a ward. In the long stretches of time ahead, I need to welcome you into a discussion about the difficulties of the following 100 years, and how we should think about change in our ward and in the Episcopal Church. This discussion, obviously, is now under way, and has been for quite a while.
The "tuning in" gatherings that Diocesan Shannon Johnston is supporting (see beneath) is essential for a more extensive discussion about transform; it is a discussion about substantially more than a solitary issue (same-orientation gifts) yet about how God is calling us to shape the congregation for the future and the ages after that.
We should likewise be in this discussion about change at St. Paul's. The discussion will comein numerous gatherings, formal and casual. I have a couple of thoughts regarding how we can have this discussion, and I will express more about that in coming long stretches of time. What's more, I welcome your remarks on this blog.
