GTNG in the Interim

Dear GTNGers:

As you can tell by the fact that this is only the second post on this page, this past year has been much quieter than first envisioned when the Core Team emerged from quietness, re-established this website using TypePad, and prepared for much more activity than in the past. Yours truly, your GTNG President, is currently on Sabbatical and will re-engage all aspects of my ministry, including GTNG, when I return in September. As I've expressed to members of the Core Team, one of my top hopes and expectations is a greatly expanded GTNG web site, essentially a GenX "cyber-church" that can be here to support GenX Episcopalians in their faith and life.

What I will say is that in preparation for that hoped-for expansion, we are in need of a few donors to fund the continuation of this blog. It costs $14.95 per month (or a discounted price of $149 a year) to keep this blog going, and it is currently due to expire at the end of August. So, if you feel moved to support this site with a contribution, just click on the "offering plate" in the upper right-hand corner. Yes, this takes some faith, since we haven't done nearly what we had hoped with this site in the past year, but one of my goals is the strengthen the Core Team with at least two or three folks whose sole responsibility will be to guide, govern, and expand the site.

So, stay tuned for more, contribute as you are moved to, and keep GTNG in your prayers.

Blessings,

The Rev. Tom Sramek, Jr., President

P.S. If you have any ideas for or interest in serving on the Core Team, please feel free to leave a comment following this post.

Maybe it's time to let GTNG die. It seems defunct at best.

GTNG as a collection of e-mail lists is unlikely to die, as it costs us nothing to keep those up. Similarly, as long as we have at least three folks willing to serve on the Core Team, we can keep GTNG, Inc. on the rolls if needs be. The question, of course, is whether GTNG serves any further purpose in The Episcopal Church and, if so, whether the e-mail lists are sufficient or whether there is more desired.
