| Pastoral Reflections | Home: Where We Abide
 by Rev. Dr. Linda Lee Clader
Our Christian home is now, in ministry with Christ and through
Christ, as members of his living Body. And that means that we are
constantly on the move—not because we are on a quest for some distant
prize or goal, but because we share Christ's continuing mission of
service.

Living in Place
 by Rev. Dr. Nancy Bloomer
It is difficult to conceive of a single, isolated human in a state of
shalom. An important aspect of shalom—which I understand to mean
perfection, wholeness, health, and fullness—is belonging. Being rooted
in and connected to a community in all its particularity of people,
place, and things is a necessary ingredient for a sustained sense of
well-being.
