Best of the best

Congregational Libraries Today, one of the many ongoing benefits of our annual membership in CSLA, was recognized this past April as one of the finest faith-oriented newsletters in North America. At its convention in Dallas, the Associated Church Press (ACP), the oldest affiliation of religious publications in North America, gave three awards to Congregational Libraries Today, including an honorable mention in its coveted "Best in Class" competition among religiously oriented newsletters.

The Shack

I am in Vilamoura, Portugal, enjoying a terrific vacation. Part of the enjoyment has come from reading the book "The Shack" by William P.Young. Our All Saints English Book Review Group will be discussing it on July 9th. I recommend it to everyone! Visit the web site for more information: http://www.theshackook.com/
