One area I hoped we could do more with is work with for lack of a better word poorer groups. But that hasn t happened. We talked about it with our board, and they told us not to force it let it unfold. We can t do spirituality without context. Our focus has become offering good preaching and good liturgical and ritual experiences.
People have a hunger for that.
I like the stimulation of being in the city. Whatever comes into your consciousness is going to come out in your talk. A campus or retreat center can become your world. It s changing in front of our face. Even Portland s housing is changing.
