Before my brain aneurysm (surgically repaired a decade ago) I was engaged in trying to understand and then create a new, sacramental, biblically-warranted, true-to-lived-experience "way" that a community could gather, worship together, and benefit from.
It's over a decade later, and I'm seeing all this time an Anglican Church in reduction. We're still very rich in lands and buildings, and other holdings. We do seem to have conceded the goal of encouraging people to grow numerically and in quality of life. Put in a base way: what we say about God's leadership, and what we do seem very remote from one another.
But I no longer trust myself to make these kinds of assertions. Am I wrong?
As always, thanks to those who read this far, and I would eagerly look forward to your lived experience.
