I began this blog in 2010 as I was preparing to take a sabbatical.  I wanted to post about my experiences and learnings as I asked the question, "What creates a vibrant, progressive church?"  It is seven years later and I am once again preparing for a sabbatical.  This time I am healing from the loss of my beloved husband.  My sabbatical will be more about time away and healing from grief.  Trips to Italy and Greece with family are on the docket. I will blog about them here.

Thanks to the incredible congregation that is encouraging me on this sabbatical and has sustained me through my journey!
