Recommended Reads // David Benner

noreply@blogger.com (space between) — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 20:45:00 +0000

Shelves can certainly be filled with books on spiritual formation & spiritual direction (he says to himself) and perhaps it is hard to sort through the mix. With that in mind, let me commend to you David Benner (BA, McMaster; MA & PhD, York).

"Dr. Benner was the founding Director of the Institute for Psychospiritual Health (Toronto), founding Chair of the Graduate Department of Psychological Studies at Wheaton College (Wheaton, Illinois), Founding Executive Editor of the journal, Conversations, and a founding member (Charter Member) of the International Society for the Study of Multiple Personality Disorder (subsequently, International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation). He has been an Associate Fellow (Psychology and Spirituality) at The Centre for Studies in Religion and Society, University of Victoria (Victoria, British Columbia) and served as Distinguished Author in Residence at the Carey Centre, University of British Columbia. Currently he serves as Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Psychology and Spirituality at Psychological Studies Institute, Richmont Graduate University (Atlanta, Georgia) and as Consulting Psychologist for GAP Adventures – a global adventure tour company.

Beyond his work in psychology and spirituality, David’s other principal interests are sailing, cycling, jazz, and hiking. He and his wife, Juliet Benner, live on Vancouver Island in Canada where they are actively involved in the leadership and life of Christ Church Cathedral in Victoria." (source)

I have the four books shown below and have come across free audio of some of his speaking engagements--take a look & listen.

CHURCH: Emergent...Traditional...or Deep

noreply@blogger.com (space between) — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 00:12:00 +0000

Here's a link to a new addition to the reading room--Deep Church by Jim Belcher (pastor + author; M.A., Fuller; Ph.D., Georgetown).

If you are exhausted, annoyed, confused, or new to the "what is Church" dialogue (or more specifically...Emergent vs Traditional) you may find Deep Church a helpful resource.

One month hiatus...to learn English (it's about time)

noreply@blogger.com (space between) — Mon, 31 May 2010 03:34:00 +0000

Well, I have been on a wee bit of a hiatus from the bloggin' desk. The past month I have been in class learning all the nuts and bolts of English (please stop editing my writing--let's consider this blog a bit of a grammar-free zone). The TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) program came complete with an wonderful line-up of fellow students and a superb instructor brimming with linguistic genius. In our last week of class we welcomed some new friends (real live language learners!...finally) who made the whole learning experience more real and special. Thanks to each of you (them).

STOP the Traffic | Compassion in Action 2

noreply@blogger.com (space between) — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 18:46:00 +0000

My church, RockPointe, has launched this year's Compassion in Action initiative--STOP the Traffic--to raise awareness & funding for local and global initiatives. This year the focus is awareness and funding for ministries involved in stopping human trafficking.

On the weekend of April 17 & 18, 2010, hundreds of people from Calgary, Cochrane and the surrounding area decided to make a difference and help the victims and those at risk of Human Trafficking in the Ukraine, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Costa Rica and in Calgary, Alberta. Children, Youth and Adults have came together in groups of 10 to 20 people with the purpose of increasing awareness about the problem of Human Trafficking and to raise funds to help the victims and those at risk. A total of 65 groups were formed and each group received $500, $750 or $1000 to use in accomplishing the two goals.

This spring, the 65 Compassion in Action groups will run events, sponsor activities and sell products to help stop the traffic. You can be a part of what is happening! Gather a group of your friends together and sign up by April 30 to receive "seed money." Or be a part of what is happening by becoming involved in what is happening around Calgary, click on the Attend an Event link to find an event that you can be a part of.

Together we can Stop the Traffic and make a difference in the lives of victims and those at risk of Human Trafficking!

A Bike Ride...into Austria!

noreply@blogger.com (space between) — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:44:00 +0000

A group of friends reunioned in the northeast corner of Switzerland and, on the map, our whereabouts appeared very close to Austria. Close indeed--walkable and bikeable. So, with just the right number of bikes, we all went for a lovely cruise into Austria.

1000+ Stairs

It's always nice to go beyond the tour-book-options and experience the "normal" things that locals take part in--even if that means climbing 1000+ stairs.

Raclette (Swiss for Mmmmmmmm!)

noreply@blogger.com (space between) — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 16:19:00 +0000

I love cheese. Like, I really love cheese. So, a meal which is premised on covering everything in cheese is a good idea in my books. Enter: Raclette. What a brilliant and palette-pleasing idea! Thank you Switzerland for your (many) fine culinary contributions--appreciated & enjoyed!

Confessions of a Blogger

Ok, bad, bad, blogger (he says to himself). Sorry, for the week-long delay in posting photos...and now--assuming a cloud of volcanic ash makes way--I shall board a plane to Canada tomorrow. So, let's say (factoring in travel & jet lag) that more photos from Switzerland shall be posted by the end of this week. Come back for the images of food, travel & Alpen fun. Tschüs (bye).
