dtour.com.au - take the journey!
dtour is a great site put together by Malcolm Hawker. It is good to hear voices on the journey from all over. An e-mail from Malcolm made me realize how much I wish I could go to Search Party 2002. Sadly, Lakeview Church had a horrible year last year financially so I had to choose where I wanted to go the most (and that was Soularize). I am going to have to fly on my Air Miles but at least I will be able to go.
We are thinking of planting a church in Saskatoon in one of the downtown warehouse spaces. There was an old bar that is closed that is sitting empty. I would love to move into that space. I am talking to a real estate agent tomorrow about it.. We will see how it goes.
Am reading, “Whoosh: Business in the Fast Lane” by Tom McGehee. It comes highly recommended, I’ll let you know what I think. Peter Block’s The Answer to How Is Yes is also underway as well. It also looks promising.
Sexual Abuse Allegations Covered-Up by Vatican
The accusers say Vatican-based Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who heads the Vatican office to safeguard the faith and the morals of the church, quietly made the lawsuit go away and shelved it. There was no investigation and the accusers weren’t asked a single question or asked for a statement.
He was appointed by the pope to investigate the entire sex abuse scandal in the church in recent days. But when approached by ABCNEWS in Rome last week with questions of allegations against Maciel, Ratzinger became visibly upset and actually slapped this reporter’s hand.
Frozen Chosen
Antarctica gets its first Orthodox church. How is that for your first posting after seminary?
Was just interviewed in Christian Week. Jeb gave them a really bad picture of me. I look like a dork. Any revenge I may feel towards Jeb get taken care of at lunch today. Every Tuesday we go to a Vietnamese restaurant for the spiciest soup I have ever had. It leaves everyone that eats wondering if they will see tomorrow. Every Tuesday I go, “never again, this stuff could kill me” but it tastes so good.
DVD Cover Art Rip-Offs
There are so bad, they are funny. The studio art departments ought be ashamed.

Yahoo! News - U.S. Envisions Blueprint on Iraq Including Big Invasion Next Year
I see a several major stumbling blocks. The first and foremost of those seem to be in posting your plans for attack on the web…
Religion for Dummies
Frank Rich’s Op-Ed piece in the New York Times about the Roman Catholic sex scandal. What has been most shocking about the church scandal so far is not the revelation that some priests prey on minors but that their bosses are looking out for No. 1 (and I don’t mean Him) rather than their victims. “Mistakes may have been made,” said Cardinal Edward Egan of New York � but always by somebody else. Instead of taking responsibility for their own failings, American cardinals have made a hymnal out of the Enron playbook
alternativeworship.org - I never know how to rate sites but the very best, I find myself hollering for other people to come and see it. This is one of those sites.
The Wendy Cooper Weblog
Wendy’s site is sporting a new look and feel. I like it. (no, I don’t have to say that just because we are married)
local churches and gatherings
I updated, reorganized and cleaned up the listing of local churches from around the world. If you know of any that aren’t on the list, e-mail me at coop@jordoncooper.sk.ca.
Free Worship Media Resources
A lot of churches are selling their stuff online. We decided to give our stuff away. Jeb is Lakeview’s media artist and is cool enough to post all the public domain and original stuff he has done. The images are formated as background slides for teaching, choruses and other stuff and are all free to use and download.
