Stuck at home?

I don't know about you, but I am finding more than enough things to amuse me. I thought that on house arrest I might have to resort to cleaning, but so far I've only tackled a few deferred chores. There are so many extra opportunities in the knitting community I feel a bit overwhelmed with the choices. I've got food on hand, exchanges on the Bean Club Facebook group are frequent, and I will go out to the community garden to check on a few young things and to harvest the last of the sprouting broccoli and some more over-wintered chard. 
But now there is this: a one hour zoomed learning opportunity each day starting Monday the 23rd. 1 p.m. Eastern, 10 a.m. Pacific.

Nothing but what I've been saying...

but still it's nice to see someone else say it.

Here's an article from the Houston area about "Slow Church" - taking the time for liturgy, prayer, and sharing food and time together.

I mean - we have Slow Food (I belong to the Russian River chapter) and Cittaslow - Sonoma is one - though I think it should either be Slow City or Citta Lenta - what's with the Itaglish?

So why not Slow Church?

Frankly, I think smaller and more rural congregations do better with a pace of life which does allow time to savor and opportunities for conviviality. I also see that Trinity in Sonoma where I am volunteering these days does pretty well. But I feel a longer essay coming on to explore applying the values of Slow Food to church life, and perhaps promote the explicit claiming of the best of this countercultural movement.
