Neither the hair shirt nor the soft berth will do.
The place God calls you to
is the place where your deep gladness
and world’s deep hunger meet.
-Frederick Buechner
Do you ever wonder? How can I make a difference in the world today as a Christian? What does it mean to live as Christians in community? What are the issues, challenges, and new opportunities for people of faith in serving the common good from a spiritual perspective? How can I explore my gifts and grow as a whole, spiritual person? In what ways can I help congregations “re-think church” for diverse neighborhoods and new forms of partnership in ministry?
Perhaps God might be stirring in your life. Are you sensing a call to service? As a professional working in a non-profit organization, school, medical clinic, law firm or corporation? As a creative leader in a vibrant, relevant congregation? As someone curious about going to seminary or graduate school and exploring ordination? As a church staff member working in a specific area of ministry such as social justice, community health, environmental sustainability or music, drama and the arts? Where do your “deep hungers” meet the “deep needs” of the world today?
