1. "Just___!" Old Nike advertising slogan (2,2). Art has made it his slogan as he encourages people to form "home churches", one of the aims of Xristos Community Society (www.xristos.ca), of which Art is president and Alanna secretary-treasurer. Our Corpus Sidney group continues to meet every second Monday evening in members' homes. Art also continues to write his "Theological Soapbox" column for The Journal (which may be read online at www.corpuscanada.org).
2. An exclamation that Art might utter if he looked at his watch and saw that it did not show the time accurately. Art loves accuracy in time pieces. One of the high points (for Art) of our holiday in Ontario this summer was that  he bought a Casio wrist watch that automatically detects the time signal from a satellite every night and sets the time accordingly. It is accurate to the second and Art never has to adjust it. Art also bought an alarm clock that detects the time signal from an observatory in Colorado and sets itself accordingly. Furthermore, it projects the time on our bedroom ceiling in dim red numbers, so that at any time of night we need only look up to see the correct time. Made by Oregon Scientific. (2,2)

A Vancouver Island organization called Ministry Without Borders, of which Art is the vice president, arranged for Bishop Patricia Fresen to speak at St. Aidan's United Church in Victoria in November. Bishop Fresen is one of the Roman Catholic women who were ordained in secret by some Roman Catholic bishops, so perhaps that makes her a secret___!

They stayed in a hotel in Brampton and from there drove to visit Alanna's sister Colleen and her husband, John, who live northwest of Brampton, and Alanna's youngest sister, Brigid, and her partner, Ted, who live in Toronto. They also visited John Veltri, S.J., and some other Jesuits at the Jesuit infirmary in Pickering, Greg Carruthers, S.J., in Toronto, Pavel and Angela Li-Muller in Toronto,  Dawn Reynolds and Pete and Karen Kraemer in Guelph, and Catherine and Doug Hannah in Limehouse.

During this time Alanna will work as a minister-in-training at First United Church in White Rock, under the supervision of the minister there, Rev. Joan McMurtry, who has 30 years experience as a minister. Alanna has set some leaning goals. One of them is how to be creative in worship.
