I have thought about how I might communicate more closely and regularly with you all. Some of you will recall that a few years ago, I undertook a daily discipline during Lent and communicated daily with you by email. I am undertaking a similar effort this year, but with newer technology — blogging.
My Lenten efforts this year will concentrate on good reading, deep prayer, a consciousness of the soul — not on artificial penances, good as they may be for me. The purpose of my work this Lent will be to freshen the basics of life, to fill my empty self with meaning.
I invite you all to join me, as the Spirit may move you, so that this could be a communal discipline.

The Oakerhater Community is a religious community under the canons of the Episcopal Church. Our purpose is to "discern, enable and support individuals and communities in their vocations of reconciliation." We presuppose Christ's presence in one another and in all whom we encounter. We seek to remove barriers that stand between us and the fullest expression and acceptance of God's love. We affirm in our baptism the unity of all people in Christ — one Body, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism
