Lord, how long will you be silent? When will you restore your kingdom as you promised? How long must we wait?
Anne Lamott was talking with this man that worked for the Dalai Lama. And he said - gently - that they believe when a lot of things start going wrong all at once, it is to protect something big and lovely that is trying to get itself born - and that this something needs for you to be distracted so that it can be born as perfectly as possible.

Not a comment on this post, but Ryan, have you heard about Dan Kimball's new book coming out? It's called :They Like Jesus, but Not the Church" Seems that at least the title speaks to some of what your thoughts have been...
Dan talks briefly about it at www.dankimball.com, but who knows maybe you talked to him about this if he was at the gathering?
Grace,
Brian
