June 30, 2008 - When I am here, whether the weather is pleasant or not, my soul finds solace, my hope is renewed, and I recognize once again that the One I name as Holy is the giver of all this splendor. Do problems abound personally and for human society? Yes. Does life continue to present challenges to my faith, to my ability to have hope for human society? Of course.
May 12, 2008 - I believe we are here because of the reality that we are all in this movement together to work out what it is to be the Church according to our best lights, our proudest moments, our fondest wishes and the fears we act out with again and in the presence of one another.
May 6, 2008 - I feel both relaxed and energized and I look forward to taking on the work God calls us to do together, particularly the work of spiritual transformation.
