Awakening to Wholeness |
Encountering God |
Awaken to Wholeness explores fundamental questions about our relationship to God and how we can grown in intimacy with him. Who are we in God’s eyes? How can we overcome our sense of separation from him? What roles do prayer and meditation play in communing with him through his living Word?
Eric L. Dahl brings a unique perspective to these issues. An award-winning expert in organizational training and individual development, he was trained as a teacher of the Transcendental Meditation technique after graduating from Yale University and has instructed over a thousand people in the practice. Early in his career, he had a life-changing encounter with Christ that brought into sharp focus the core issues of personal identity, transcendence, and salvation that inform this book.
Millions of people, including many faithful Christians, practice meditation in order to improve the quality of their lives. Dahl’s insights in Awaken to Wholeness give great comfort and inspiration to those seeking a vital Bible-based spirituality that is open to the call towards transcendence yet firmly rooted in traditional Christian beliefs and practices.

Also, some copies are available after church on Sundays.

A little over a year ago I was encouraged to attend an event to hear Marcus Borg speak, and I was not disappointed.. This year Father Ron Andreatta called me and said that if I enjoyed Marcus, he was speaking again this time with John Dominic Crossan. This was two speakers for the price of one and I said, “count me in”. ...read more
"The Spirit of God blows out from us so that we can love and perform good acts. Then he draws us into ourselves so that we can take rest and find enjoyment in him. This is eternal life: not unlike our breathing the air out of our lungs and breathing in fresh air. What I mean is: we move inwardly in a mystical enjoyment and move outwardly in good works, both in communion with God. Just as we open our eyes, look and then close them again, in such a smooth transition that we hardly notice what we are doing, so we die in God and live out of God, always remaining united to him." ...read more
Paint Detail
A portion of the ceiling of St. Gabriel and All Angels after our painting project, completed Wednesday, April 30.
Revealed Arch and New PaintAs nice as these pictures are, they are nothing next to seeing the freshened church with your own eyes! This church may not have looked this grand since its first painting in 1926.
The color scheme is a traditional Neoclassical treatment to match the architecture of the building. Beautiful lines and details which were somewhat obscured by the previous single shade of off-white are now richly presented.
You are warmly invited enjoy this glorified sanctuary in worship with us at Holy Eucharist on Sundays at 10:15 AM.
There is still more refinement to be done! We'll be reassembling the altar on Saturday, May 3 at 10:00 AM, please come and join the fun.

Presiding Bishop Graham Wale
Clergy and Members of St. Gabriel and All Angels traveled to St. Francis LCC in Villa Park, Illinois on July 4-6 to meet with Liberal Catholics from around the Midwest in greeting the Presiding Bishop of our world wide church. Bishop Graham Wale and his wife Kylann live on the south coast of England. The Wales were accompanied by our Episcopal Vicar General Christian Schoch and his wife Monique of France.
Ann Bosold has a wonderful gallery of pictures from the event. Click here to see them.
The fundamental energy of Christ’s church is compassionate love - His love for us, our love for Him, and our love for Him in our neighbors. So it is not surprising to find that prayers for the support of those in need play an important part in virtually all Christian services. But they play an especially significant role in the Eucharist of the apostolic churches. ...read more
