conflict

talking about stress, talking about communion and intimacy, talking about...conflict. So many people seem so in love with their conflict, and if it gets resolved - let's go make another.

going back in time

I am planning on reading "the greedy heart" today on the Poetry Super Highway and between that and the emails from yesterday I thought I would just...go back in time a bit and talk about...things...

Isn't that specific?

The language of longing can be so very vague. We talk about "feeling a connection…

what about jealousy, possessiveness and feeling unsure?

But what about jealousy, possessiveness and feeling unsure?

See…now here is how it goes, I wake up to a question from one part of the world and post, go back to sleep and wake up again to the next part of the question - only this time provided by someone halfway across the world from the first perso…

the concept of "knowing" someone has really struck a chord...it is going to take me a bit to try and cover all of what has come in to my email box but I will (eventually) get back to everyone - if not here then with an email.

"You don't know me" seems to be a favourite phrase. I know (ok, this is pr…

love and marriage

What is it with the honey this week? Now his brother came in and his face was all swollen up because he couldn't wait and went up to get the rest of the honey and this time the bees came down and chased everyone in the lower pueblo.

personified

I work with a lot of personified images of things that are actual integral pieces of the self. it is a way in which I am able to back up and look at how I view that aspect of myself and mysteries can be shockingly revealed. There is my muled-shod-boa-flipping-endless-martini wandering brain, the s…

desire

Let’s talk about desire, shall we? Not in fine academic terms but in the knee knocking, stomach dropping awareness of the desire that fuels us. The desire for someone else, the desire for our own lives…all of that.

What is it that makes it such a taboo subject? Why is it that the last thing I …

the genius of love

And still, I am getting spam messages from that new site that wants to replace craigslist and still, they follow this amazing tack of insults and putting other things down as a means of trying to enlist people.

The Order of Christ Existent

The Order of Christ Existent consists of ministers and laity who have chosen to take vows of service and commitment to their communities. The designation OCE confers on the person a public responsibility to to provide service, comfort and companionship regardless of faith, lifestyle, gender, age or race to all in need.

Every member of the OCE has identified their areas of calling and is active in those areas, inspired by Christ, directed by the Holy Spirit but governed by respect for the rights of each person for their individual beliefs, spiritual development and life.

No member of the OCE is permitted to evangelize as a condition of someone receiving their assistance.

Persons who have chosen to take the vows of inclusion in the OCE are also required to contribute documentation of their efforts to provide for a growing library of understanding of the nature and issues facing the human race and how best to increase the quality of life for all. Members of the OCE have also committed to an active path of spiritual development in their own lives.

Would you like to join the OCE? Contact us at graceIWCC@gmail.com to begin a dialogue with the Senior Pastor.
