Note on the Great Spam Wars we've been fighting. I received this from Joe the Plumber this afternoon:
New spam filter installed. You may want to update the Bulletin Board with a reminder that commenters now need to check a box to prove that they're human. We'll see how this one works.
As always, we're grateful to Joe. We could not do this without him.

Thanks for this podcast — I minister in a different-yet-similar context, in suburban Australia.
Also v. influenced by the ancient-future movement, and trying to relate it to our life at Centenary.
I’ve linked to your blog. Hope that’s ok!
Thanks!

Pastor Ken Klaus in his weekly broadcast had a very interesting take on Epiphany. He said Epiphany is the Christmas celebration which has not been contaminated by secular influences (e.g. no “day after Epiphany sales”). Because of this, it should be a special day for all Christians.
It is interesting that you mentioned that contemporary worship has not resulted in members feeling more connected, when this has always been one of its strongest selling points. There is something powerful about sharing a creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and communion together as one body – things bigger than ourselves which bind us all together. It does affect relationships outside of the sanctuary.
