Dear Folks -
I want to thank you for your prayers and support during this time of loss
for me and my family. I will have more to say Sunday about my father and his
death.
I also want to thank Stephanie Warfield for stepping in at the last
minute to teach Ordinary Life in my absence. A number of you asked to have
copies of her remarks and I am putting below what she sent to me in response
to your requests.
Once again, your words of condolence have meant much to me.
Much love,
Bill Kerley

In the Ordinary Life Gathering this week I offered a metaphor for how I
think about "doing theology" as well as how we might think of living our
lives. It is a metaphor I got from Bruce Reed and is drawn from the world of
aviation. Bruce says there are three types of people who fly airplanes -
drivers, pilots and artists. Living artistically means, among other things
being very aware and "flying out in front of the plane." I think you'll find
it a useful way to think about living your life and constructing your
future.
Much love,
Bill Kerley

This week in the Ordinary Life Gathering I talked about the places I've
been and the things I've seen during the five week sabbatical I've taken
from teaching. Our lives, I believe, constitute our spiritual journey. This
is true for all folks whether they acknowledge it or not. We all have the
responsibility and opportunity to experience the sacred in "ordinary life."
Much love,
Bill Kerley
