the current memorial invitation campaign got me thinking about the few times over the years that someone i invited to a meeting actually came: .

rowan williams, the former archbishop of canterbury gave an interesting answer to the somewhat stark question, what’s the point of us existing?

as a christian, my starting point is that we exist because the most fundamental form of activity, energy, call it what you like, that is there, is love.

that is, it’s a willingness that the other should be.

could this be part of the recent push to get people to "come back" or get re-instated...if it even is online and 15 minutes of service per month?

i'm going to drop a bomb shell here for all you who think you know something about depression.
