May 15-17, 2006
These are transition days between leaving Good Shepherd for the sabbatical and its actual beginning. I am in Charlestown RI for training as a coach in the Natural Church Development (NCD) process. New England Synod plans to use this process to assist congregations in reaching their own goals for mission and ministry.
It's an interesting group here - leader is from the midwest; Lisa Hazelwood of St Andrews here in Charlestown is the driving force; we "students" 8 - 6 clergy and 2 lay people.
This is an odd kind of limbo time: not yet sabbatical, but not the usual type of work either. I'm taking lots of notes because this material stimulates lots of good ideas - but I won't be "back at work" to put them into action until August 18th!

St. Paul's is participating in NCD; I'm co-leader of the health team. Our "weakest link," not surprisingly, is "Passonate Spirituality." Our coach is Bob Doll (graduated LTSP four months before we started and his first call was St. P's) and we are in the focus group stage. We're not moving as quickly as I wish we were, but it is summer . . .
