"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Marching to Anaheim with IntegrityUSA: A history lesson from herstory
This time next week, I will, no doubt, still be fighting jet lag, trying to get my sense of direction, finding the closest neighborhood bodega for some local grown fruits and veggies, and, no doubt, breathing in copious amounts of LA smog.
It's all about getting ready for General Convention, AKA "Anglican Brigadoon," which will rise from the mist for ten days and then be gone for another three years.
A great deal will happen in those ten days. We'll all be thoroughly exhausted by the end of it all. And, strangely invigorated.
It's important, first, to pause for a little history lesson from the intrepid and always articulate Susan Russell.
We'll be seeing lots of these pithy and informative clips as a run up to as well as during General Convention.
You can 'stay tuned' here at IntegriTV.
Thanks to Our Ms. Brooks (Susan's beloved Louise) for yet another stellar job.
