...all creatures great and small....

This link is sent in by Farmer Gwen Chambrun, well known animal lover - check it out!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070108/ap_on_sc/colombia_animal_shelter.

Another interesting project is being done by a photographer to benefit those animals who were hurt or displaced as a result of Hurricane Katrina's devastation. See the calendar she has created to be a fund raiser for this project at her website: www.nanettemartin.com (click on the "2007 Calendar" icon).

Animals enrich our lives so much, it's good to see we give back sometimes!

Websites for other Christian denominations and Faiths

The main writing folks at the Farm are Episcopalians, but our readership is far more diverse. In thinking about 2007 and ways that we "Do Church", I thought it would be refreshing to have a listing of websites I have found for other faiths and denominations--- so that if you had questions most certainly outside of my mini realm of expertise in liturgy, etc Episcopal style you might be pointed in the right direction.

This listing is not - by any stretch of the imagination complete - only what I’ve been able to come up with so far. If you have additions, simply send them to me in the comment section at the end and we will all be able to share.

Happy hunting!
