John E. Smith commented on Christy Moore's blog post 'Downshifting to Slow Church'
"Hi, Christie - fascinating concept. My first thought as I read about the "slow church" was that it sounds wonderful, but how do we get the world to slow down, so we can stay engaged with our daily lives.  Slowing down during a retreat…"

General Assembly Reflections . . .

Well, another interesting GA is history . . . except for the bill-paying, clean-up, and follow-up:) I am posting links below to my blog posts from this week, all of which center around various aspects of GA.  The food was pretty good, the music was great, and aside from the heat and humidity (which reminded us of how powerless we are over the weather), all went pretty well, from this person's floor seat.  Not perfect . . . pretty well. I would also invite anyone who has a fascination with…See More
