News and Notes of Interest

The Farm is bringing "More or Less Church" back to its roots: a place where news that may not make it to your TV 6 or 11 p.m. broadcast can be found. A place where liturgies from different traditions may be shared, new spiritual music circulated and resources for worship, prayer, devotions geared to daily life can plant seeds of faith and joy! This column is dedicated to your contributions for our corporate inner growth and its outward expressions.

Today's offering comes from two sources: the ever-interested and interesting Debbie of Hodgepodge and a faithful reader, Karen Otte of New York. Thanks to both of your for these bulletins related to the Anglican General Synod meeting in York, UK and all that is unfolding there. For those of you who have written regarding the results of the "How I became an Episcopalian" survey, fear not. It will appear after the conclusion of the General Synod in installments. A resounding THANK YOU to each of you who responded.
