Intermission Chat

If "all the world's a stage" then sometimes we need an INTERMISSION. We need a time to stop, to reflect upon the script, to evaluate our part in the play, to consider the bigger picture, to reconnect with the Author and with the other players. This is the essence of our Tuesday night gathering. This blog is a virtual extension of our ongoing spiritual conversation. Everyone is invited to bring something to the table – a word, a song, an expression, or just silence.

Intentional Community


Leah and I have been engaging in an extended converstation about intentional community. I'd love for all of us to engage in this conversation together. Here's an article about the PAPA festival which was in part sponsored by the Simple Way, an intentional community of Christians living and working together in Philadelphia. The article contains information about this movement within evangelical Christianity towards intentional communal living.

By the way, the Simple Way was founded by a bunch of Eastern College students who were at Eastern the same time I was...including Shane Claiborne who just released a book well worth reading: The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical.
