more life less-church-geekiness
Mis-quoting my friend Phyllis Tickle (whom is also quoting someone when she says this) it seems that there is some sort of rummage sale (or at least a garage clean up) in my life every five years.
Time’s up. I’m at it again.
Five years ago my family and I moved to Seattle looking for a space to re-kindle our sense of vocation and explore opportunities for more education.
Much have happened since then.
- I worked at a machine shop.
- came out from the Anglican closet
- dig deeper into my cultural roots
- went from 1 kid to 3
- discover that balding is unstoppable
- worked at an Episcopal Cathedral
- Planted many mustard seeds of hope
- cultivated an intentional community
- was embraced by a sense of call / vocation
Among many other wonderful things – last March I was welcomed to the Postulancy in The Episcopal Church. And I recently started a Masters degree program at School for Theology and Ministry at Seattle University.
My life is in transition now and I feel I must pay close attention to those which are close.
There will be some “church” geekiness still, however I’ll be a bit quietier and more discerning on where my energy and attention goes.
See you around.
This new season of eliacin.com would be focus on issues of my journey toward Priesthood in The Episcopal Church, photography, liberated spaces, spirituality, alternative living, America Latina and homegrown revolution.
Don’t just embrace the sense of call / vocation…embrace the baldness too!
