A New Tool for an On-going Conversation

Welcome to Trinity's newest communication tool. In an attempt to open as many ways of talking to each other as possible, we hope that this blog might be a helpful way of chatting reflectively about what we see God doing in our midst. We will continue to use email and bulletin inserts to announce activities. This blog is a place to share insights, questions, observations, and concerns in a way that all of us can hear what you are thinking.

In order for this to be most useful, here are a few simple guidelines:

1. Posts should be fairly brief. Think in terms of 3 or 4 paragraphs rather than 3 or 4 pages.

2. Posts should be humble and open. This blog is a conversation at the kitchen table. We want to discern together what God is doing in our midst and where He might be calling us as a community. Leave the preaching to me on Sundays! :)

3. Posts should be personal and local. We are interested in hearing what's on your heart. There are lots of blogs that allow us to stay abreast of happenings in the Anglican Communion. As much as possible stay in the kitchen table mode and speak in the first person.

4. Posts should be communal. Remember you are talking to a whole community. If there is something that you want to work out with one person, do that privately. We want everyone included in the conversation.

I look forward to hearing from you all; and in our listening together to hearing from the Lord.

Peace,

Jim Hobby
Priest-in-Charge
