Tag, You’re It!
It’s August, which means that Christine Sine has officially retired as active Co-Director of Mustard Seed Associates // Godspace and handed the reigns over to Andy Wade. Christine and Andy agree it’s been an extremely smooth transition.
What does this mean? We’ll be writing more about that in our August newsletter but, in short, it means Christine no longer needs to worry about the day-to-day operations and administration of the organization and can instead focus on writing and workshops. If you’re a regular reader of our Godspace Community Blog, or follow any of our pages on Facebook, you likely won’t even notice the change.
Godspace Community Blog
Exciting things are happening on the Godspace Community Blog. We’ve just passed the 50 contributor mark with women and men from over nine countries and a wide variety of traditions contributing their perspectives and insights.
This month on our blog we’ll continue our series on listening, with the theme, “Listening to the Life of Jesus”. We’ll also be featuring two authors and a couple of classic books this month. It should be another insightful and inspiring month.
Would you like to do more than just read the blog? Check below for how you can join our growing community of writers and artists.
