While we do still have a week to go with the UW school year, last night was slated to be our final teach-in for the year, and in a sense, the closing of inter::mission. Our culture project in India is definitely a part of the inter::mission process, but it’s also a somewhat separate thing.
As it [...]

The days are blowing by me sooooo fast around here. It seems like just a couple days ago, the inter::mission gang was over at The Mustard Seed house. Alas, that was two weeks ago, which means that last night was time for the next teach-in. As we move toward the end of [...]

Sorry for the quiet blog of late. It seems that multiple things are converging on me at once, which does happen. Lately I’ve been hunkering down on some school stuff that I just plain need to get out of the way before I plunge headlong into my dissertation writing this summer. I’m reading hundreds of [...]

I’ve mentioned a few times over the past couple of months that a small group of us from The Purple Door will be traveling to India in June, as part of our inter::mission project. While the details of visas, travel insurance, plane tickets, immunizations, and fundraising have occupied a good bit of our time [...]

How far does one have to drive in order to qualify for a road trip? Does the answer change if there are nine people in two cars? Does the answer change if there are nine people, two crock pots full of vegetarian chili, three loaves of french bread, and a couple bowls of fruit salad? [...]

Our guest [...]

We got back to The Purple Door a little while ago, after spending a couple hours on the UW campus, in front of the student union. We were out there doing a social experiment designed to bring awareness to the caste issue in India. We had a TON of fun out there, talking with [...]

Yesterday will certainly go down as one of the more memorable experiences of my life. It began with two heroes and ended with another. I’ll try to be brief.
I already mentioned the Seeds of Compassion event that took place in Seattle over the past several days. Yesterday was the final day, which was an emphasis [...]

This week is an important in the planning of our upcoming trip to India. Plane tickets, accommodations, fundraising, debriefing plans, etc. Lots of numbers, schedules, and ideas floating around, competing for my brain space.
India is an amazing country and culture. The more we learn in preparation for this journey, the more my anticipation grows. Something [...]

Last night was our first inter::mission teach-in of the Spring quarter. It was really good to have everyone around the dinner table again after Spring Break. It’s amazing to me how even one week off can make it feel like I’m completely out of rhythm with life around The Purple Door. We laughed a [...]
