Oversight Team Reflections: Ben Conachan
It's an annual tradition each summer at Pearl Church for us to hear from the members of our Oversight Team. Our Oversight Team ensures that we are cultivating our rhythms according to our values, and oversees our practices, bylaws, budget, and pastors. Beginning August 2, each week a different Oversight Team member will take a turn to share, giving us a chance to know them more deeply and to hear what they dream of for Pearl.
To close our summer of Oversight Team reflections, this week traces one pastor's evolving relationship with prayer—from childhood petitions and their unsettling questions, through ancient fixed-hour rhythms and wordless silence, to a compassion that that holds everyone's suffering and joy as one.
