  Amen, Margaret.  YES to being the church in every situation - to the journey of faith - to moving on - to celebration!  

  A community for the journey is important, though. And worth searching for.  Colleagues, how/where have you found community where you are?

    I don't think the point was ever for each of us to be "in one."  It always seemd to me that the point was for each of us to be the church in each and every situation in which we show up in the world.   When you get this embedded at the cellular level of your being we are talking about many/many/many around the country and in the world.  People have to journey into a grasp of their faith in a complicated/global world.  I give thanks daily for the parents who are clear they don't have an adequate model (no sense that they have yet "arrived" at 30 something) and bring their children to church to initiate their journey of faith.  That what we did worked as well as it did should be cause to celebrate.  That life keeps moving on is also cause to celebrate, and it means we have got to keep moving!!
