[Oe List ...] Salmon: Signs of hope?

[William Salmon]

Colleagues All--
    Recently, I've noted a slight shift taking place from all of the negativity of the collapse to something that might approach a tiny light of hope. 
    I've attached a newsletter written by Barbara Wendland, "Connections." Wendland is a theologically trained laywoman (Perkins School of Theology) and a thorn-in-the-side of the traditional church. For years--maybe 30--she has written her newsletter exploring the voice of a progressive critic of things-as-they-are. 
    This month's letter reviews a book by Guy Rendle (seems familiar--but I can't tell you why) titled, "Journey in the Wilderness: New Life for Mainline Churches." 
    His use of the wilderness is patterned after that of the Exodus in which he sees people, ". . . being shaped as a new people with a new identity, fresh purpose, and. . .a new hope." 
    See what you think. If you haven'et send an email to Wendland to a free subscription to her newsletter, and see what you think.
    Inner Peace, 
    Bill
