We're up here at Shrine Mont in Orkney Springs, VA for the annual Truro retreat. We have nearly 530 of the Truro family up here and tonight we're here in the Hotel checking in. It's been quite a weekend so far, excellent teaching, exuberant worship, lots of fun and laughter, opportunities for prayer and encouraging one another. Our speaker is the Rev. Tom Herrick, Church Planter with the Anglican Communion Network and his talks have been terrific - sharing of his own journey and encouraging us in ours. It's so wonderful to be back at Shrine Mont. I've been coming up here every year since 1984. The weather has been spectacular - summer-like. Tonight the place is filled, just overflowing, with the sounds of children - running and playing and laughing. Life in abundance! For 90 folks this year it's their very first Shrine Mont retreat. Excitement fills the air. Sunday will be here soon.

Fr. Herrick is the best.
Ahhh - Bach. You're a strange bird - I'm a baroque fanatic- I can't get into modern music (such as Dylan).
I'm glad (being a Falls Church member) that we will still be able to use Shrine Mont--I hadn't thought about that yet since we usually go in October...
It is really quite astonishing how CANA uses shrinemont as well as hijacking the churches. I guess it is true that occupation forces are 99 % of the so called victory. amazing appalling hutzpah CANA.
Hi Anon, can you pass me the pitcher of butterbeer? Thank you. It's great to share, isn't it?
And now you know your answer.
