Saskatchewan is the home of the (big) living sky, and I saw it. Here’s a picture of Briercrest<\/a> where I gave lectures last weekend.

Jim Wallis<\/a> with Sally Quinn. Did you listen to this? Any thoughts?
The emerging movement — in Australian perspective<\/a> — and I can think of yet more elements of that sketch of Mark’s. Any thought?
