Lenten Prayer Project
Using the internet to guide and support spiritual practice is something that is being explored by a lot of folks. I read a lot of ideas in the Emerging Church book by Eddie Gibbs. Many young congregations who are trying to straddle our cultural shifts are finding that cellphones can be as good as church [...]

It’s Honesty, Stupid.
The Democratic and Republican primaries are in full force at this point. Words are starting to fly. Campaign staffers are looking to pull dirty tricks (I’m looking at you, Hillary), and battleground states are up for grabs. This is politics in America, and it makes me feel sort of queasy at times.

emerging…
Eunice and I returned from the annual Young Adult Conference at Bethany Beach, DE, and we had a pretty good time. There were something like 50+ young adults there.

19 out of 27
For 19 out of the last 27 days, I’ve been traveling, across the world and right around the areas I call home.
On May 10, I left for Spain to explore facets of the culture, arts, and spirituality of that old European country. It was quite an experience - from Madrid, Toledo, Leon, Salamanca, Granda, and [...]
