The ELCA's new-ish website livinglutheran.com is very promising, and you should check it out. Just today I read two excellent articles there, related to the same stuff I usually go on about here. Kevin Haug's story about welcome in a sermon interruption speaks for itself, and my former pastor Ken Wheeler from Milwaukee offers a lovely description of his congregation (Cross, the congregation of which I was a member until I arrived here in Kzoo) that is for me both nostalgic and inspiring. This line toward the end really hits home for me: "It is that grace that keeps us open to the other, that compels us to live beyond ourselves." Sign up for Living Lutheran yourself, put it on your RSS feed, contribute to the community there.
There's a lot of good stuff out there, and these cluttered interwebs offer tremendous resources to those of us who dare to slog through the silliness that we might find God speaking to us through people like Kevin and Ken. I have links listed on this blog for a reason, and am happy to update them if you have suggestions.
