Over on the Resources page, I have assembled a bunch of links to web sites that might be interesting to people reading this archive. It’s obviously not an exhaustive list, so I need your help.

I’d like to keep the links somewhat general in nature - you’ll notice that I haven’t linked to any specific blogs, for example, but rather to places people can find blogs they might enjoy reading.

What is missing? Should I have a Religious Education section? Any suggestions on what to put there?

Please do contribute your thoughts to this process if you can.

From the Reverend Adam Tierney-Eliot:

We need to come together to be what we dream.

. . .

We come here to make sense of the world. This is where we come when we are in grief or in shock, when we are confused and lost. It is where we share our victories and recover from our defeats. It is an avenue for reaching out to the world and looking within ourselves. Ultimately, that is what church is. It is a place that challenges and heals and should do so with all the fullness and grace that its component souls can provide.

An abundant church should think in terms of abundance and of possibility. We should try to embody our goals of inclusion and our dreams. We dream for ourselves, for our children and for those people in the near and distant future who will be proud to say that “This is my Church.”
