The River Thames

We had our first guest "speakers" at the Abbey last night. Mark and Dawn Thames, of Lower Greenville Community in Dallas, graciously hung out with us for dinner, thought provocation and evening Compline. This couple, more than any other I can think of, embodies the street-level maturation of all the highest aspirations of our fledgling Abbey experiment. We felt an immediate connection and extreme encouragement to hear more of their experiences, successes and failures (and overall wisdom )from sincerely living in a missional-incarnational manner in a very "post-Christiandom" sub-culture for 10 years plus.
