Young adult gathering, 'Camino: A Sacred Journey,' set for San Francisco September 21-23
[ENS] Groups of young adults from around the country will participate in an urban journey to ignite their faith, inspire their walk and invigorate their call to seek and serve Christ in others.
"Camino: A Sacred Journey" is a young adult gathering set for September 21-23 at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, California.
Through provocative workshops, creative worship and an interactive urban pilgrimage focused on global peace and justice, participants of Camino will partake in an urban pilgrimage, exploring the cities many contrasts, paradoxes, eccentricities and challenges while discovering sites where the values of the Millennium Development Goals (http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals), Baptismal Covenant (http://vidicon.dandello.net/bocp/bocp3.htm) and Franciscan Spirituality (http://www.s-s-f.org) are being practiced.
Camino builds upon the work and consensus of the Young Adult Ministry Network consultations of the last three years to provide an opportunity for young adults (ages 18-30), and those designated by their parishes and dioceses as young adult ministers, to come together in community and discuss the place of young adults in the church.

Catalyst: "Becoming Bridges: The Spirit and Practice of Diversity" from Cowley Publications, by Gary Commins, 172 pages, paperback, c. 2007, $14.95
[Source: Cowley Publications] Pastor of a bilingual, multicultural church for more than a decade, Gary Commins knows that diversity is a spiritual exercise that can be as charged with anxiety as it is laced with hope. In Becoming Bridges, Commins lays the groundwork for diversity as an intrinsic part of the life of faith and calls us to become bridge people: people who are willing to traverse gaps of ignorance and bridge the things that separate us -- religion, race, culture, class, gender, and sexual orientation.
Gary Commins is rector of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Long Beach, California. In 25 years of ordained ministry he has served in an ecumenical campus ministry, in a bilingual, multicultural parish, in a congregation with a large gay and lesbian population, and, for 10 years, teaching a seminary class in Multicultural Ministry. He is also a trained spiritual director with an interest in mysticism and is currently the vice chair of the Episcopal Peace Fellowship.
