This is the conversation we need to be having together. Do I think it is too big to fail? I think the faith…what we believe, the truth of our experience is too big to fail.Congratulations to my fb friend Roberta who took part in this discussion. If they are enlisting a mind like hers…we are all good.
Wife, mother, blogger, Catholic ministry. I love to garden even when it goes wrong. Same with writing (and we know it can go wrong.) Believing that God is present in all of it.

Angels Rush In
Can you hear it now? Where was God? Well, this was where I saw God… In the midst of the smoke, in the danger and uncertainty, people don’t always run away…sometimes they run toward it. Always, the first responders…always they are an image of Angels who rush in. Handy are doctors and nurses, EMT’s, National…
Catholic Spring?
I just wanted to share an excellent article from the Guardian about the Catholic church in England. I love correlation to the Arab spring and how the people can influence the direction that the church goes in.

Some Times….
Lately, I have had some “time”. It has been a real gift to slow down to get things done. I have gone from three jobs to two and have flexibility to some extent in both of those. This “time” that I feel is just returning has allowed me to look around a little more. Here…

Very worthwhile conversation. Thanks for sharing the link. I think that the institutional RCC is at a challenging time in history but I believe that the people who are really the church know that we need to serve others in order to follow the teachings of Jesus. As one of the speakers advocated, the RCC only needs to communicate what the people are doing and that would be the best PR they would ever imagine.
I agree Lynda, our witness is the best message.
