Add your reflection on our February 9-12, 2009 Gathering at Redemptorist Renewal Center in Tucson. The Program Planning Team welcomes conversation in advance of its evaluation meeting. At that time, the Team will also propose plans for our next Gathering.

Toward a future of Koinonia and mission?

Sue and I both thoroughly enjoyed our class reunion/retreat. It is amazing that so many of us, playing various parts in the overall framework managed to stay out of the way enough for the Spirit to stir things up a bit, including the Holy Hilarity of Wednesday evening. Unforgettable!

Off to such a good start, the question keeps nagging at me--what comes next? In my view our class turned out to be really fine pastors of the church. In retirement we may want to be uninvolved for a time; but we have much to offer. The issue is what that specifically might be for the church, and how to do that without pontificating as so many retired pastors are wont to do. Is there some needed contribution we might be able to make to the vibrant future of the church? Are there particular ways of going with God's future that would be of value to us, our children and our children's children, and to the world?

Come, let us reason together... in order to build upon the foundation put in place outside of Tucson.

There's that train whistle again! Are those horns growing out of the conductor's head???
