Last weekend I attended the Sustain conference on Thursday and the Mission conference on Friday and Saturday. These conferences were sponsored jointly by the Episcopal Dioceses of Ohio, Southern Ohio, and Indianapolis.
I was the only person from the Diocese of Ohio to attend Thursday's Sustain conference which was too bad--it was a fabulous day and I was inspired by the people I met, the things I heard, and the food I ate. Oh, and the coffee from 1801 Mills--Oh, the coffee!!
At Missio on Friday and Saturday it was good to see some other Ohio participants and to connect with some folks from Southern Ohio I know from the Kenyon Conferences (OEC@K) and to meet some new folks.
College Chaplaincy
One new person I met was Andrea Bardelmeier whose business card lists her as "the Assistant Director of Ecumenical and Multi-Faith" but she introduced herself as this Roman Catholic university's Multi-Faith Chaplain. She is paid by the university to help Muslim, Hindi, Protestant Christian, and other student groups organize and get what they need to worship and grow in their faith. She says that college Student Life organizations are very interested in chaplaincies at this time. I hope to gather some more information to share with Kenyon.
Website Links
During the weekend, lots of people suggested lots of websites. Here are a few of them:
-Community of Communities is an interactive map of intentional communities around the US.
-The Christian Community Development Association
-Sabbath Manifesto
I've got more details about the conference in the postings below. Enjoy.
