The next morning in Church, I felt the uplift (which I attributed directly to the work that had been done), as well as the inspiration that I felt as a result of the Workshop! The topics discussed under each heading, as well as the ideas discussed by the participating members, were so helpful — the “collectively and exclusively” had always bothered me as I felt not very clear as to exactly what MBE had in mind. Thanks so much!

This past Sunday, I noticed a big difference in my experience of the service when trying to keep thoughts and prayers exclusively on the congregation. It required discipline but it felt so much more inclusive and loving. As a bonus, it occurred to me that we can’t be critical and loving at the same time!
