What do you want from a church in SL?

The following is a report of the group discussion that occurred last Saturday, revolving around the general topic of “Being Christian In Second Life.” These discussions happen every Saturday at 11 a.m. SLT, at the benches in front of the Parish House. All are welcome to attend! Arundel Dragonash, who co-moderates these discussions (along with Joyous Schism) prepared the following summary.

Labyrinth!

Thanks to the generous donation by Hildeguard Psaltery, we now have a labyrinth on (the southwest corner of) Epiphany Island! Hildeguard made a copy of the labyrinth she previously constructed and placed on Support for Healing Island.

Thanks also to Elly Crispien, who assisted me in getting this labyrinth settled into its new home. Elly also donated the lovely meditation chapel that now graces the south shore of the island. So, a big round of applause for both of these very talented ladies!

Plans are moving forward for the rest of the land redevelopment, as my schedule allows. I have started construction on a new meditation garden, in the southeast corner, and will continue on with the landscaping. Thanks to all for your prayers and support for me, and the rest of the leadership team, as we work to enhance this lovely environment for the work of this ministry and the glory of God!

Revd Aaron

This past Sunday we had a special guest preacher, the Revd Aaron Orear (Aaron Ohrberg) Aaron is a priest in the Diocese of Niagara, Anglican Church of Canada. He graduated from Trinity College, Toronto, last May, was ordained to the diaconate last Pentecost and priested on Second Advent, so he still has that New Priest Smell. He was also married this past October, making 2007 the most eventful year of his life…hopefully for a very long time. To listen to his message click on the play button below..

Being Christian in SL

The first gathering of the “Being Christian in SL” discussion group took place this past Saturday, and interest is very strong! Over the course of what turned out to be a two-hour discussion, approximately 20 people, both cathedral regulars and newcomers, came and went, and contributed to a very rich discussion of the topic at hand.
