About Me...what is an 'evangelical-catholic?'

Elk Grove Village, IL, United States
I was born & raised in rural mid-Michigan (M-go blue!). Life & work have taken me to many different places. God has too, as I've come to learn that faith is a pilgrimage. I very much resonate with the label 'EVANGELICAL-CATHOLIC.' I was raised Baptist, but found myself drawn to the Sacraments & Liturgy of the Church. I appreciate very much the words of the Augsburg Confession: "...nothing has been received among us, in doctrine or in ceremonies, that is contrary to Scripture or to the church catholic." Evangelical-catholic is a term of self-designation used by Christians coming from a broad spectrum of theological perspectives and commitments, ranging from Lutherans, Anglicans, and various Evangelicals yearning for greater catholicity .....to faithful Roman Catholics longing for an evangelical renewal of the Church. Perhaps beneath the apparent denominational differences there lies a common...groaning of the Spirit of God, who is seeking to draw the members of Christ’s mystical body into a communal life that is both fully catholic and fully evangelical. One can always hope and pray!

My "scooter"


Just had to post this....

I've always said I'd love to have a scooter......either a Vespa, or one of the many Vespa-ish knock-offs.
Well, maybe someday.

In the interim, I've acquired this beautiful Breezer bike. Note the amenities for the 'business' commuter: bike-rack, chainguard, fenders (real metal). It's a GREAT bike & I enjoy riding it back & forth on my morning commute to the office at LCHS. *MY* carbon footprint is shrinking.......is yours??
