When he was hiding in a cave, an angel brought him some cakes and drink to give him strength to continue.  This site is intended as a place where any of us modern Elijahs may find a cake in the midst of our journey, or be an angel and leave a cake for others.  Mission Statement ecclesicakes is  intended  to  be  a  source  of  worship and education resources  for the church with the following biases: Gender, sexual orientation and power inclusiveness  in language and in imagery, Following Jesus in valuing equally children, women and men, Seeing justice as integral to the will of God for all creation, Liberal (and bit radical) in theology and view of scripture. About Bob I am an ordained minister of the United Church of Canada with thirty years experience in working with congregations as pastor and as presbytery resource staff.  This includes assignments in rural, suburban, and inner city congregations, and an urban presbytery. As a pastor, I enjoyed working with committees to plan and carry out innovative plans for fulfilling their responsibilities. As presbytery staff, it was my job to enable presbytery committees in setting goals, designing programs to meet those goals and in taking action to carry out these programs. These committees covered a wide range of concerns, including church school, social justice, ethnic ministries, refugee sponsorship, gender equity, sexual orientation, and congregational worship. In retirement, I find the creative juices still flowing, so I am giving myself the pleasure of this web page as one of the ways I can continue to participate in the Jesus Movement.
