Greetings to all who are seeking to grow in their experience of the Christ in their lives! Our mission is to create an environment for theological thought and reflection, and to provide an opportunity to respond to and interact with the others who comprise this virtual community of faith.

Since the last issue, my mother suffered a heart attack which significantly affected the course of her recovery from the knee surgery which, as reported, went well. The good news is that the episode was classified as “mild,” and her doctors are predicting a full and complete recovery. Mom has yet to plunge into the world of computers, but I know that she will be encouraged by any “snail-mail” you address to her: Laura Hanna, 2517 Beth Dr, Billings MT 59102-1401.

This brings us to GiC’s announcement that we are Luddite-friendly! Hard copies of the weekly newsletter and sermon are being mailed to those (including Mom) who don’t have the capability to access the website. If you know of someone who would also benefit from this approach, please send their mailing address to: RevMAH@aol.com

A reasonable question has been put to our readership; see “Voice of Reason?” on the Bulletin Board. C’mon folks! Let’s get the dialogue going. Simply click on the “subject” to view the posting in its entirety, and then click on “reply to this message” to share your response. Clicking on “post a new message” will enable you to do just that. As our range of points-of-view broadens it brings us that much nearer to our goal of serving as an inclusive theological forum.
