Sacrament, Story and Sacred Land: An Episcopal Pilgrimage in Israel by Jason Oden

Sacred journeys bring transformation. We return home indelibly affected by the experiences of the journey. After I returned home from my first pilgrimage to the Holy Land, I experienced Scripture in an entirely new way. While I was traveling the land of the Bible, walking past the valley of Gehinnom (Hell), exploring the maze-like alleys […]

Young Adult Gathering 2017: Kindle a Hope

“The movement of the Spirit of God in the hearts of men and women often calls them to act against the spirit of their times or causes them to anticipate a spirit which is yet in the making. In a moment of dedication they are given wisdom and courage to dare a deed that challenges […]

A Whisper of Something Else

By Anna Berger No one in the world knows you’re here, Atop this ridge with your rose-flushed face and the dirt smudges up and down your faintly aching legs, you are alone. But God is no one because God is the One and the world is God’s and there’s a whisper of something else in […]

Growth, Weeds and Some Beautiful Things

We were late gathering for directions to guide our first springtime Garden Work Day, but I knew it would look better once we got through the morning. It was colder than expected. So cold, in fact, that I put my slim winter gloves under my rubber dipped gardening gloves just to keep the numbness at […]

Why I Practice Morning Prayer

Two years ago this morning we were in a delivery room exhausted, a little scared and uncertain of our next move. My wife, Brooke, had gone into labor around 6:00am the day before. We had taken 12 weeks (TWELVE WEEKS!) of birthing classes to prepare us for what we hoped would be an unmedicated, natural […]

Learning to Be a New Kind of Artist: A Week at the “Art as a Spiritual Connection” Summer Camp

We’re sitting in the sanctuary of All Saints Church, in a circle of dim light.  It’s morning and we’ve finished doing yoga and put the mats away, and now Fabricia is talking.  There is a theme for this first day, as there will be for most of the days of the camp – connection and […]

Episode #28: Stop Swearing At Us, @#*#&@#!

In this week’s podcast Ben, Karl and Laurie swear up a blue storm.  Okay, actually, we don’t.  But we do discuss R. Eric Tippin’s article inRelevant, “Is Swearing a Big Deal?”  What, if anything, is truly profane in our world, and how do we, as Christians, react to that profanity?  And then we ask an even […]

Forced to be Silent and Still

In June 2009 I graduated from the Ohio State University and found myself in the food stamp office two days later and with an eviction notice on my door two months after that. There were no options available to me – nowhere to turn and no hope for salvation. As I looked around my apartment, […]
