It was neat to read your descriptions of the different kinds of churches…I think we all know churches that fit into these categories.
I’m sad you’ve not found a church home yet. On the other hand, thanks for writing down the journey in a way that we can all relate to (and grieve with) you. Blessings.

Yeah, Jer 29 has been ringing through my head since i got off the plane in July. Planting my garden in the land of the exile hasn’t gotten much easier, but it hasn’t been boring either.

Your allusion here to Jeremiah 29 and the call to make home with God even in a strange land has strong and important resonances with so much of life in the nomadic existence of our times. There was a wonderful turn in this blog from your witty, though perhaps biting, comments about the “Coffee Shop Church” to encountering Jesus in the midst of all the other immigrants doing their paper work. Thanks for this. As part of the Toronto community that loves you and misses you … well, we love you and miss you.
