Sometimes I like to poke around the Library of Congress website. They have a great image library with digitized images from all over the place. I was searching for pictures from Webster when I came across this: Design drawing for stained glass Chancel window showing Christ’s ministries for Church of the Reconciliation in Webster, Massachusetts. It’s the very same window shown here, and it’s fascinating to see how it changed from concept to reality. I love the internet!
As you probably know, Father Dallas is in the process of making visits to our parishioners to talk about healing past hurts and forming a new direction for the future. He usually brings a Vestry member along with him. Today I had the priviledge of making my first visits with him, and it was an inspiring experience. I think all of us will be enriched by this process and will become much stonger as a congregation. I’m looking forward to doing more! (Besides, it’s entertaining to watch Father’s GPS system try to make sense of Webster’s sometimes mysterious roadways!)
One of my favorite places to visit online is Father Jake’s place. Jake is a priest who posts his musings about various goings-on in the Episcopal Church and the wider Anglian Communion. He encourages comments, and there is a lively community of Episcopalians, Roman Catholics, Baptists and seekers of all stripes who bring their perspectives to the table. Although Jake comes from a pretty solidly liberal stance, he is welcoming and gracious to commenters with other perspectives, providing they play nicely!
