In the last week

August 30th, 2004

In the last week, our church has:
- invited God’s blessing upon 5 children of varying ages in our dedication ceremony
- potlucked once to celebrate those children
- experienced a diagnosis of lymphoma
- seen a friend prepare to go away for rehab
- Gained two more families (30s and 60s)

In the next week, we plan to:
- baptize 3 adults
- potluck twice more (for Alpha celebration dinner, and after the baptisms)
- begin to advertize for couples workshop and Alpha courses starting in mid-Sept
- gather a leadership core together and rebuild it

And who knows what else will happen…

Glad You’re Here

Welcome to In the Coracle, Pat Loughery's blog. Make yourself at home, and do join in the conversation by commenting on what you find here.

I make my living as a software engineer and project manager. I have particular interest in social software, social networks, and systems that build relationship between people.

I blog a lot these days about spirituality and spiritual formation, and I have a particular interest in learning from the early Christian church's approach to spirituality and mission.

I'm a student at Bakke Graduate University, studying for a Doctor of Ministry in Transformational Leadership for the Global City.

I'm studying spiritual formation in an Internet-based world. I'm trying to learn from early Christian spirituality's monastic movements: the desert fathers and mothers, Benedictines, Celts, Fransciscans and others, in order to see how they ordered their values and actions to be fully devoted to God's work. Their total devotion to the presence of God was countercultural, that can show us what it means to be countercultural in our wholehearted devotion to God in contemporary culture.
