The Fourth Sunday of Easter

Chickens just might be more familiar to urbanites than sheep are these days. Even goats are encountered more frequently than sheep. These biblical images have become so distant or idealized that we have a hard time making sense out of what it means to be a good shepherd. Yet the imagery around shepherds is absolutely central to the biblical narrative.

Girl Scout Centennial

Learning to identify birds, or how to plant trees, tie knots, or build a fire, are important skills that teach us about the world around us. So are the things we learn in Scout troop or by going to camp. We meet girls from different cultures and backgrounds, we try different foods, and we learn to live together in community.

Spokane-Olympia Clergy Conference

The theme of this clergy conference was "Future Church." The lections appointed for this day were Tuesday in the Second Week of Easter.

One of the things that the Global South seems most annoyed about is our economic system. They’re not alone, even if Occupy has been fairly quiet recently. It’s pretty clear that the early Christian community did have a fairly communal attitude toward private property and personal possessions.
