Thanks Travis Smith, Priest from over the pond & Moot Friend
MISSIONER EXCHANGE RE-EVALUATED
In the last 6 weeks, Travis has accompanied Moot and has immersed himself in our community, and has journeyed with us through the highs, some of the lows and in the doing of our little fresh expression of church. Speaking for myself, this 'missioner exchange programme' not only helps moot and I to reevaluate what we do and why, but has brought immense blessing with a different perspective. Travis has brought me personal and incredible encouragement, wisdom and advice - which has been invaluable not only for helping me with my involvement with Moot, but also my own spiritual journey. We have laughed, cried, argued, explored, shared and affirmed much in this brief snappet of time.
So I will miss Travis when he returns to COTA our Sister Church accross the pond, and hope to draw something of the things I have learnt into my life and practice as a Missioner & Priest. Thanks Travis.... we may never agree about the balance between church and state ---- but that is ok.... Thanks for all that you have done!! I know from what Travis has said that he has gained as much as we have from this missioner exchange.
