The Shack: A Book Group – to be led by Rev. Sally

For a while it seemed like everyone I talked to told me about this great book called The Shack, by Wm. Paul Young. Now I will admit that I was skeptical. But I decided that I needed to read the book so that I knew what all the buzz was about. When I did I was intrigued and quite captivated. The Shack is a story about a father who struggles with grief following the murder of a child. In the midst of this grief, he meets someone who claims to be God. The book is about what he finds out about life, about God and about himself during this encounter.

Lambeth Conference Will Focus On Equipping Bishops For Mission

When the bishops of the Anglican Communion convene in Canterbury this summer for the 2008 Lambeth Conference, they will find a gathering differing in many ways from its predecessors and one that is intended to strengthen their sense of a shared Anglican identity and help to equip them for their roles as leaders in mission.

The Coming of the Lord – Advent and Christmas

December can be a hectic month. We rush around looking for the right gift for the special people in our lives. We fill our calendars with school programs, holiday events, and social obligations. We spend hours (sometimes days) decorating the house inside and out. We cook, clean, and spend all the way up to the eve of December 24 and then in one day it’s all over. And sometimes in the midst of the rush, we forget what Christmas is all about.
