St. Paul's Willimantic

We encourage new members to post a short introduction of themselves in this forum category. Get to know each other and share you common interests.

This is for postings about Religious Community News, Retreats, Labyrinths, Contemplative Gatherings, and so forth. We had been talking about "outreach" and the idea that it would be a very good thing to "reach in" around us also to the incredible resources and amazing people in other parishes as well as be more "plugged into" the communities around (Religious and otherwise) and to be more aware of some of the events and gatherings we might find there. (Thus generating a whirlwind of positive energy and Love !!!! ). This name also brings to mind that these things (and what we are all trying to do or facilitate) are, in fact, within reach.

Got something you want to say? Legislative issue? Justice issue? This is the place. Radical viewpoint? Not a problem - after all, Christ was a revolutionary radical. Just remember He preached compassion and love!

This is the place for all knds of "religious" discussion - and the religion isn't limited to Christianity. Bible study, nontraditional theology, some posts based on our Wednesday community service, whatever is of interest to participants.

Community Conversations are discussions held after worship on the 3rd Sunday of the month and now expanded into this forum. For us to function as a united Body, we have to know and understand each other better - here is a difference between "I Believe" and "We Believe." The conversations began with the subject of justice, “Justice is not a program, a political platform, or a denominational position on social issues. No, justice is a pilgrimage of the beloved community, the journey toward the establishment of the Kingdom of God.” (Bass, Christianity for the Rest of Us). Other subjects included "Beauty" and "Reflection: Thinking Theologically." I invite you to join me in these conversations.
