are we a club for the elite who pretend to have arrived
or a school for disciples who are still on the way? BRIAN MCLAREN, FINDING OUR WAY AGAIN”

“Richard Halverson, former chaplain to the U.S. Senate 1981–1984, was known for his humorous take on how Christianity has lost focus on “the main thing.” Halverson’s brief history recounted that Christianity began on Palestinian soil as a relationship with a person. When it moved to Greece, it became a philosophy. When it moved to Rome, it became an institution; when it moved to Britain (or Europe), it became a culture; and when it arrived in America, it became an enterprise.”

“Roadblocks to
Radical Sending The layperson’s ministry is not a matter
of increased busyness in parishes.
Indeed, this proliferation of organizations
and activities may be a roadblock at times

“In all I do this day
In all I think or say
Father be with me all the way.
In all my work and all my deeds
In all I learn, in all my needs
Christ, go before me, the One who leads.
In my work as I do my best
In all that puts me to the test,
Spirit, help, and grant me rest. DAVID ADAM, POWER LINES”
