Monday, February 22, 2010 at 9:05AM We live in a technologically drive age -- something that is discussed in some detail in a new book by Peggy Kendall entitled Reboot. I've reviewed it over at my personal blog. CWCC is church that bridges two ages. We have much that is traditional, reaching back into the past. That is reflected in the worship itself, which is a blend of old and new. That said, we have begun to embrace technology in a variety of important ways to extend the reach of the church's ministries.

Reflections
Tuesday, February 2, 2010 at 3:47PM A year ago, during Lent, we gathered as a congregation in small groups. We talked together and prayed together about our faith, our prayers, and our call to service, using Gay Reese’s book Unbinding Your Heart (Chalice Press, 2008). A year later, we will again be gathering in groups to talk about our faith, our prayers, and our call to share our faith with others, and again we will use a book by Gay Reese, this time a book entitled Unbinding Your Soul (Chalice Press, 2009). Starting with a Sunday afternoon group on February 28th, the series of meetings will last four weeks. More information about signing up for these groups can be found elsewhere in this newsletter.

Saturday, January 23, 2010 at 11:25AM We begin the year 2010. When you think about the year, doesn’t it seem as if the 21st century is rolling along at a rather swift pace? Having reflected elsewhere about the comings and goings of the past year, I’d like to focus here on the year to come. What will the year look like? As we consider what the future for our lives and for our church might look like, it’s my prayer that we will continue to explore and try live from our core values – compassion, service, acceptance, a joyful spirituality, worship, and witness – as an expression of our call to be a missional congregation.
Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at 10:12AM Being a long time participant in interfaith dialog, I know the difficulty of maintaining one’s religious identity while at the same time engaging the beliefs and practices of others with an open heart and mind. There is a fine line that one must walk. How does one remain true to one’s faith while at the same time honoring, respecting, and learning from the faith of another? If we struggle with this question, consider the situation of a person such as Samir Selmanovic, a Croatian Seventh Day Adventist pastor who grew up the child of a nonobservant Muslim Father and a nonobservant Catholic mother in an essentially atheist country. It’s Really All About God is a spiritual memoir that explores a journey that has taken a person from no faith to an exclusivist evangelicalism and on to an openness to receive blessings from a variety of religious traditions, including significant encounters with both the Islamic and Jewish faiths, while remaining true to one’s Christian faith.
