One of the things I enjoy about a week at church camp is the chance to unwind and read. Yesterday I experienced the luxury of reading a book cover to cover – Evolving In Monkeytown by Rachel Held Evans. As a long time reader of her blog, I was a slacker in getting around to reading my Kindle version languishing on my iPad. Not only is it a wonderful story, but her insights were an exciting and renewing experience for me as well. With the old world of denominationalism and evangelicalism collapsing, its people like Rachel that not only give me hope for the future of the church – it makes me glad that I am still an active part of what God is doing right now. Enjoy the podcast and go buy the book!
And here is a plug for Camp Mowana.
Just so you can share in the experience, here’s a view of Flemming Falls at Camp Mowana, just outside of Mansfield, Ohio. Who would guess that such beauty lies in the shadows of steel mills and the some of the last US rust belt industries. A little bit of trivia – about 6 miles from here is the Mansfield Reformatory, the site where The Shawshank Redemption was filmed as well as a creepy Ghost Hunters episode. If you want to check out the camp, click on the Camp Mowana link. A cool place to go retreat and reconnect.
