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.

Getting into Advent– Turn to Me Re-post
I admit, I have been caught in a mental frenzy of Christmas and life these past couple of weeks and though I really wanted to start Advent off right, I have already failed. By that, I mean that I haven’t fully focused myself yet on what this season means. But I do seem to find…

“He took away our infirmities and bore our diseases” Matthew 8:17This is actually a quote from Isaiah 53:4, that is put into the passage to illustrate that Jesus is the promised one. Today this quote is fitting as much of the talk has been about health. Poor Bill is sick, Cheryl is sick and the…

Yesterday’s reading was about the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. John is one of the my favorite Biblical characters because he has a courage that I don’t. He has a conviction and a craziness to spread the message in a way that I just can’t access. Locusts and honey are not on my menu…well,…

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.
