Wow that cover is amazing! It’d be hard to walk away from it.

…because I am just not able to get to know the people as well as I wish I could.

Yes I do, so I’m able to get to know them a bit better. But still a weird adjustment from one Sunday to the next, knowing one congregation is different from the next. Sometimes it’s even two congregations on one Sunday! As long as I keep doing this I will feel the tension I’m talking about here…

The majority of my priestly ministry is clergy supply. I’m hardly ever at the same parish Sunday to Sunday, and it sure can be hard adjusting to a different audience every week, wondering if what I’m saying matters to them. Hopefully it’ll get easier for you.

I’ve been wondering that myself, being a relatively new priest in the ACC…..

I don’t think anybody will care, sadly…..

Wait, am I understanding this correctly…. There were 41 Anglican churches in Winnipeg??

I said in my sermon that Christ is our manure (and I also said: imagine that, the preacher just said Jesus is our manure. But I say it because it’s true. He is
the nutrients we need)

I love this! I think people really miss this—that is, experiencing the love of God in a new way—when saying fasting isn’t necessary during Lent. Thanks for sharing about your struggles.

And despite our unruly thoughts toward others, God is gracious enough to keep us and refine us until our thoughts are more for the good of the other.

Celebrated in two different towns, felt like my sermon was really jumbled and disjointed, nice coffee time after the second service, nice nap while wife drove us all home.
