Rummaging As Spiritual Practice
An excellent rumination on rummage sales from a guest poster at the Daily Episcopalian: it contains intriguing glimpses of how a church has dealt with change and incorporation of new members as well as pricing and sorting “stuff.”
I’ve never been a big fan of church fundraisers, but for various reasons I’ve spent the past few months helping organize a rummage sale at church. To my surprise, the process has been something of a spiritual practice for me and I think for others involved: A spiritual practice, i.e. something we do that helps us to be more open to the Holy Spirit at work in our common life, and to become more and more available to God.

This is a quote from Br. Tobias Haller, whose blog is found here.
“There was a wonderful series of interviews with church leaders a few years back after a swath of hurricanes went through Honduras.All were asked ‘Why these terrible storms?’The local evangelical church leader said, ‘God is punishing the people for their waywardness.’The Italian incumbent noted, ‘God is testing His people.’The Episcopal Bishop Leo Frade, now in Florida said, ‘It’s hurricane season.'”– the Rev.
