IT was nice to see some one's perspective on Exploration other than my own.<BR/><BR/>I was going to recap it on my blog too, but I couldn't ever really figure out what to say.<BR/><BR/>As for speakers, I really enjoyed Bishop Schnase and Dr. Amerson. The others didn't connect with me so much, but that's ok.<BR/><BR/>I went to the 'Women in Ordained Ministry' workshop as well this year. I thought that was pretty wonderful.<BR/><BR/>I get the whole 'disconnected' thing. I feel like there are so many people who talk like they are supportive when it comes to young people (youth and young adults) wanting to pursue ordained ministry. Yet, when it comes down to it not too many folks actually back up their words with actions.<BR/><BR/>Plus, I get the feeling that the people who are really willing to 'guide' young people who want to pursue ordained ministry don't know what they can do about it. It's like everything is such a jumbled up red-tape mess they don't know where to begin. . .<BR/><BR/>Sigh.<BR/><BR/>I apologize for this turning into such a big comment. It would've probably been wiser just to jot you an email considering I doubt many people will get too much out of me leaving this comment.<BR/><BR/>Oh well.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I'll post my own reflections now that you've got me thinking about it.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Peace to you. Thanks for your reflections on Exploration '06.<BR/><BR/>NatalieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6655521.post-1164488271409566552006-11-25T15:57:00.000-05:002006-11-25T15:57:00.000-05:00I'm glad to hear about this event, which is new to...I'm glad to hear about this event, which is new to me.<BR/><BR/>Like you, I wonder who keeps up with those who are discerning their call. I mean the early times of the process, not later when a comm. is involved.St. Casserolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14046979001194772038noreply@blogger.com
