Greetings Again!

Since the new year I've received a couple of notifications for comments on this blog. Funny thing was, I'd more or less forgotten it existed! So, after a bit of trial-and-error guesswork, I managed to get the right user/pass combo and here I am.

Perhaps an update is in order! Obviously I'm not visiting new churches every Sunday anymore (otherwise I'd have been writing all about it, of course). After my last post, I spent about a year attending Oasis Community Church (click here for my original impressions), about which I'll probably write another post, hopefully soon. After that I began attending CMU (Canadian Mennonite University), at which point I kind of dropped off of the church-going map; instead I attended CMU's chapel services and participated in a fellowship group, so for a while CMU became my church.

This past year I spent a solid five months abroad in Europe, living in France while my girlfriend studied at the Universite d'Avignon. While there I didn't attend church regularly, but I had the phenomenal opportunity to spend a week in Taize, which is a monastic community that hosts week-long retreats, primarily for youth. It was an amazing week, which I described in some detail on my other blog.

Finally, to the present. Once again I find myself at that stage where I'd very much like to find a church. But not only that, I strongly feel the need to become part of a vibrant, active faith community. I haven't quite decided where I'm going to start; chances are I'll go back and read some of my old posts, and maybe try a few new churches over the next couple of months. I'll also be talking to some of my friends (those few church-goers), to see where they've made their home.

Long story short, hopefully I'll begin posting here again.

Until next time!
