Simple and Not So Simple
Like brushing our teeth in the morning or grabbing our first cup of coffee each of us embraces the day taking the spiritual side of our self with us everywhere we go (sometimes to our own chagrin). Sometimes we express our faith in the simplicity of a smile we offer or a hug we give. Sometimes we feel joy or we realize we just have to laugh at ourselves. Often we are challenged in the midst of confusion, doubt, and frustration. This blog will explore some of the aspects of faith that seem simple as well as some that don’t feel simple at all.

Monique Stone
Monique is blessed to be the Incumbent at the Parish of Huntley in Carp, Ontario (part of the Diocese of Ottawa) and have lots of fun contributing to the leadership of our rural parish. Whether she is sitting at the local coffee shop or flipping burgers at the annual fair, she considers authentic engagement with the broader community integral to my ministry. Monique personally feels that this period of church history with all its changes, declines, doubts and concerns is exciting, inspiring and best approached with a sense of hope and a sense of humour.
