Reflecting on Seven Years at Lakeside
|
 At the end of the summer, I will retire from my position as the Director of Religious Life & Church Outreach. This is a bittersweet moment for me. Lakeside has graciously received my wife Shirley and me, and we have come to love the spirit of Lakeside. We were privileged to see the idea of The Memorial Garden at Chautauqua Park become a reality and I am thrilled to now see a portable labyrinth at Lakeside, with a more permanent one coming soon. And of course, we cannot forget to mention the life-long friends we have found here.
Within the past decade, both at Lakeside and on a more national scale, the understanding and nature of religion has changed significantly. Within American society, there is a dramatic decrease in attendance at 'main line churches,' or churches at all for that matter.

Mere Observation Brings Renewal
|
 I'm sitting on a bench beneath the shade of a determined sugar maple tree, perhaps its verdant growth encouraged by the view I'm enjoying. Who or what wouldn't be heartened with these delightful surroundings.
Youngsters set sail on skiffs, their teenage teachers guiding them into and out of the steady east wind, tacking, and turning this way and that, the multi-colored sails energized by the steady lake breeze.
Only weeks ago a much different scene played out in this same location. One nor'easter after the other pounded the shoreline that now houses a single-file line of dinghies slotted between wooden four by fours.
