Network of Ministry Innovators
October 25, 2008
Well, I’m back from an invigorating week in New Orleans, picking brains and sharing stories with other intrepid church mavericks from around the country.¬† Transmission even got a nice mention in Episcopal Life:
“Trying to lead a new community can be confusing,” said Isaac Everett, of the Diocese of New York. “So finding others is really invaluable.”
Everett is co-founder of Transmission, an emerging liturgical community in New York City.
It’s great that they gave us link, although I wish that I came off as a little less clueless.¬† Oh, well, you can never control what the press will right about you and, in all honesty, I can be more than a little clueless at times.
In any case, I have all kinds of ideas I want to share with the group, and I think we’re overdue for a “future of Transmission” talk, anyway, so maybe we can discuss on Wednesday.¬† Bowie was at the conference, too, so I’m sure she’ll have lots to contribute.
Now I’m off to the Congregational Church of New Canaan to perform in a bibliodrama in which Cain’s wife takes Eve to weekend spa getaway in order to figure out why Cain is tormented with nightmares.¬† No, I’m not making this up…
5th Wednesday Singing
October 23, 2008
This Wednesday, the 29th, we’ll gather around the new piano in Bowie’s apartment for a marathon psalm reading and antiphon signing session, testing out the antiphons Isaac has been working on for the Emerging Psalter. ¬†Readers and singers and knitters and listeners all welcome.
Bowie will be preparing a home-cooked autumnal meal, but folks are welcome to bring drinks and treats!
