My wife and I are pondering the question "Now what?" What I think we recognize is that, for us, the next step is one of simplification: letting go of unnecessary possessions in our lives, clearing our clutter, living more simply, saving money and consequently being more available both with our time and our treasure to support those who may need our love and our assistance. I'm very concerned about food issues: my wife is an avid container-gardener, and I'm feeling an itch to join her. Growing our own food may not seem like much, but I think in our world where food is increasingly in the hands of large-scale agribusiness, the more people who grow their own healthy, organic produce, the better. So that's one idea. And I guess we'll have to see over the weeks and months to come what else emerges (pardon the pun). A great question, Jay, and not one I think I can quickly answer.

How will it affect your spirituality within your local parish? What do you see that liturgical churches could do better? Sounds like the conference was great.
