[Oe List ...] Do any of you know Rev Paul Raushenbush?

[W. J.]

Lynda, you failed to mention that Bob Hanson and his wife took their passion and skills from the Spirit Movement and the LCX to St. Paul where they reinvigorated a newly merged St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church and made it a successful model of inclusiveness back when that was extremely RARE (& in defiance of church authorities!). I visited them in about 1985 just to see this in action. Their current lesbian senior pastor has been in service since the early days of their Wingspan Ministry with the LGBT community, and, finally, was ordained in 2001 in an act of 'ecclesiastical disobedience' attended by 1,100 people.

Re: 
the Conference on World Religions:  I don't know if Bob Hanson is on this 
list or not, but I do know that he and his wife Karen Ingvoldstad, an interfaith 
pastor, are planning to attend.  Bob was a Lutheran pastor from Milwaukee 
during the LCX.   Lynda Cock

Hello Colleagues
Do any of you know the Rev Paul Raushenbush - he 
will be giving the witness at Pitt St Uniting Church in Sydney tomorrow morning 
- he is in Australia to attend the Conference of World Religions which is being 
held in Melbourne in early December - are any of you coming to that 
conference?
