Okay, let me open this thread by saying that I am being serious now. I have been not serious for quite awhile. To make a long story short I have been struggling quite a bit with my faith and wondering if God is real this year. (2008/09) This is not what the thread is about but I thought I would preface the thread with this so you guys take me seriously. Because I know that I have derailed a lot of threads in the past b/c I was not seriously discussing anything. This has been bothering me for awhile.
i have four cottages and my own harbor on sheguiandah bay part of lake huron.
I don't have many words, but the words I do have are important. Youth, now what do we mean by youth in the United Church? For some churches having youth means, oh we have a sunday school, some others oh well Mabel still has a few hairs with colour, then there is, the Youth Group who are just teens who hang out because they have nothing better to do.
Does anyone know Marvin Mountney?
He is from Ontario,was a young minister in an non-denonimal church gathering
in the late 60's
He is currently living in Saskwan. Is a united minister I believe.
Had taught at a church up north on a possible at a native reservation.
There are a number of videos from the Behold! Intercultural Conference. This one is Behold: Intercultural Worship.
Having immersed myself in the literature of emerging, I now feel better about my place in the Christian Church, specificially the United Church. Although I grew up with the traditional beliefs, I gradually realized, now at the age of 63 that I choose not to believe in the supernatural aspects of our "faith" - that Jesus was the "son of God" who, after his crucifixion, rose from the dead, appeared to the faithful and ascended into heaven..etc.
