I've been writing about my church lately. It's an important place to me. It's where I got married to the love of my life. It's where my daughter was baptized. It's where people cared for me as I wept over the end of my first marriage. I also talk about my church because I think nonprofits can learn from these interesting and complex places. Last Sunday, we had a liturgy and celebration at my parish to welcome our new priest and mark the beginning of our new ministry together.
