Annual conference

[Rick Rabe]

Hi Terra and Brigita,

Well, it was a wonderful time in Norway, and now back to it.  I spent the day cleaning my little Scamp Camper, as I will tow it to New Hampshire, and an Episcopal church will let me park overnight Thursday and Friday, just a few miles from the conference.  I figured I own this little home on wheels, why pay for a hotel?

Anyway, I am working on my sermon for my final Sunday (I had it completely written and it disappeared off the tablet I was using while in Norway!).  I am both sad and excited to be getting a new appointment, technically only my third church ( I was interim at Monson).  

I am hoping for some more insights into what pathway our cooperative parish might take while at the conference.  I think you are not attending Brigita, is that correct?  I'll see you Terra in New Hampshire!

Hi Rick,

I am glad it was a wonderful trip! 

No, I am not going to Conference. I would like to suggest that you schedule a meeting of our cooperative parish leadership, rather than waiting for email responses. 

Also, there is information published about the cooperative parish model and in my view, it will evolve as makes sense for our group.

Debi Mahar told me that one year conference was in Springfield, Massachusetts. If there is any way you can suggest that the location be changed, that would be great. My opinion is that it should rotate locations.

Blessings,

Brigita
