In just a few hours, the Pacific Northwest Conference of the United Church of Christ will hold its Annual Meeting -- our gathering of our churches, reaffirming that we strive to live in covenant with one another. This is a picture of the ballroom at the Red Lion in Spokane where we will gather for our Plenary sessions -- we will pray, work, celebrate, and dream together in this space. I will never forget the Annual Meeting in 2003 after my wife Andy and I had been away from the Conference for 7+ years ... I was overwhelmed with the affection and welcome we received. It was as if the church had gathered just to welcome us back. This blog hopes to expand the welcome beyond the walls of our meeting place. Join us!
Thank you, Jim and Tim and others for bringing us this way to share and reflect at Annual Meeting. I look forward to our time together in the flesh and electronically. Blessings, Rick Russell, Eastgate UCC

ReplyDeleteInterested in creating a network--let us know online.
You can find us at the Annual Meeting in the Registration Hall next to the Ministry Resources table where you can see what vacancies on Conference committees exist and maybe find yourself a place to serve.
Paul, Chair CLSA
The Conference is a wonderful time to share and dream together. Bellevue First Congregational is honored to bring Oikocredit to the conference this share and share how participating in microcredit has enriched our congregation. Learning all of the opportunities our conference has to share with us in other areas is exciting and inspirational.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great thing..hopefully, this technology will enable our connections to be maintained beyond our yearly gatherings.I am hoping to connect with other Interim Ministers in the conference.

「大師們。」她輕聲說：「他們告訴我的。他們說我活過86次。」
「帶著對任何有關輪迴轉世的科學論文的強烈渴望，我翻遍了醫學圖書
館。讀得越多，就越意識到，儘管曾認為自己頭腦的每方面都受過良好的
教育，但我的知識還是很有限的。有許多這方面的研究和出版物，都是由
知名的臨床醫生和科學家們實施、驗證並重複的，但是很少人知道。他們
有可能都錯了或者都被欺騙了嗎？證據是如此的確鑿，而我還是懷疑。不
管確鑿與否，我覺得難以相信。」
「這經驗再加上隨後其他病人的經驗，我的價值觀開始轉變，從物質轉入
精神，而且更關心人我關係，不再汲汲於名利，我也開始理解甚麼是可以
帶走而甚麼帶不走。確實，在這之前我一定也不相信肉體死亡後我們的某
一部份還有生命。」

「那幾週，我重溫了在哥倫比亞大學念一年級時所學的比較宗教課的課
本。在《聖經》舊約和新約全書中確實提到輪迴轉世。公元325年，羅馬康
斯坦丁大帝和他的母親海倫娜，將新約中關於輪迴轉世的內容刪去了。」
在《前世今生》一書中也提到，大師們通過凱瑟琳共示現了10餘次，談話涉
及到人類的不朽及生命的真正意義：「我們的任務是學習，豐富知識成為
神那樣的生命。直到我們可以解脫了，然後我們會回來教誨和幫助其他
人。」
