Hello, -

Welcome to a new week at the Writing Table! Where do you write each day? How is place a part of your writing habits and routines?

I love this description of the writing space that met E.B. White, author of Charlotte's Web, each day. 

My house has a living room that is at the core of everything that goes on: it is a passageway to the cellar, to the kitchen, to the closet where the phone lives. There’s a lot of traffic. But it’s a bright, cheerful room, and I often use it as a room to write in, despite the carnival that is going on all around me.... If I get sick of it, I have places I can go. A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die without putting a word on paper. 

And that final point! Well that's the point isn't it? There are no ideal conditions, which is why we need habits, rituals, and plans for our writing. Thank you for making the Writing Table part of your routine on a consistent basis!

What are your thoughts about possible 

expansions of the Writing Table?

We are exploring options for expanding the Writing Table to folks who would like to start a little later (or earlier) in the day. The survey is ready for you! Tell us your preferences for both Fall Writing Retreats and possible additional times when we offer a Writing Table group. Or tell us that you prefer no change to the schedule for yourself. Thanks if we already heard from you!

What is Baptized & Ordained? 

A year-long course, learning community, book-in-progress monthly gatherings, and lots more! 

Do you think the Learning Pastoral Imagination research is useful for your work? Do you care deeply about the well-being and thriving of clergywomen and lgbtiqa+ clergy? Do you want to learn strategies that effect change in the practice of ministry and improve the future church? Then the Baptized & Ordained community is for you! 

Read more, watch the video (below) and decide if this is an experience you want and need to support your vocation.
