Ideas for the Whole Community: Be a dreamer this Advent
http://wholecommunity.blogspot.com/2007/09/be-dreamer-this-advent.html
Ideas for the Whole Community. Friday, September 28, 2007. Be a dreamer this Advent. Joseph is oblivious to the commotion, gazing far off into the distant sky, looking, in fact, in the opposite direction of his adopted son. He is depicted as an elderly man, and, when I saw the painting, I thought he’d already slipped off into dotage. How did Joseph get to be saintly? The challenge that Advent poses for us is to dream. And to teach our children to dream. But what are we to dream of? Links to this post:.

Ideas for the Whole Community: April 2006
http://wholecommunity.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Ideas for the Whole Community. Tuesday, April 25, 2006. My predecessor, Dan Connors, had already begun a process of re-orienting the focus of Today’s Parish. Before I came on board. His intent was. To provide a clear emphasis on forming parish ecclesial ministers, both lay and ordained. The 2006-2007 year, readers will see several new developments that reflect that emphasis. Perhaps the most visible will be the new name on the cover. Starting with the September 2006 issue Today’s Parish. This regular fou...

Ideas for the Whole Community. Monday, January 29, 2007. Empty font for Lent? I've never quite understood to motivation to empy the bapsimal fonts and holy water dishes during Lent. Don't we want the Elect to be confronted with the awe-filled power of the plunge they are about to take? Where is the conversion to be found in a dry hole? So keep the fonts filled this year, and keep the challenge of baptism in front of the whole community especially those who will be entering the water for the first time.

Ideas for the Whole Community: The wicked stewardship problem
http://wholecommunity.blogspot.com/2007/09/wicked-stewardship-problem.html
Ideas for the Whole Community. Thursday, September 20, 2007. The wicked stewardship problem. Stewardship" has become the new beige. It goes with everything and seems pretty neutral. Here's what I struggle with. If the parish belongs to the parishioners, how do we get them to take ownership? At the same time, how do we legitimately assert the authority of the bishop and the pastor to make "final decisions"? How do we even begin to solve the problems surrounding stewardship? Jim Conklin, author of. But thi...

Ideas for the Whole Community: Knowing Christ is our goal
http://wholecommunity.blogspot.com/2007/08/knowing-christ-is-our-goal.html
Ideas for the Whole Community. Monday, August 27, 2007. Knowing Christ is our goal. I feel the same amazement when I see children text messaging their friends or tricking out their MySpace pages. While I struggle to set the alarm correctly on my cell phone, people who have to be this high to get on a Disney ride are practicing a tech wizardry that must surely be classified somewhere under the dark arts. How do we know? Says our goal is to know [Christ’s] ‘mystery,’ the requirementsin his gospel message, ...

Ideas for the Whole Community: September 2006
http://wholecommunity.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Ideas for the Whole Community. Tuesday, September 26, 2006. Is simply the process of reflecting on. The depth and meaning of God's love. I often encounter folks in ministry who are mystified by the word "mystagogy." "Mystagogy" is a big concept that sometimes leaves us flustered. But it doesn't have to be that complicated. Mystagogy is not a program that needs staffing and class schedules. It is a simple reflection on the mystery. How did it happen? What does it mean for my life this week? Steven A. ...
