Warmest Christmas Greetings

The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness cannot overcome it.

Christmas 2007

Warmest Christmas Greetings
from the Cornerstone Forum

With gratitude for your friendship,
fellowship, support, and prayers.

Gil Bailie, Randy Coleman-Riese,
and our Board of Directors

Dear Friends,

Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers during this Christmas, as we count our many blessings and remember all the kindness and generosity that has come our way during the last year. It was a year of great personal sadness for me, as my saintly wife passed away in February, but it was a year of unexpected graces as well. Indeed the Light shines in the darkness.

On behalf of Randy Coleman-Riese, on whose friendship and wise counsel I constantly depend, and the Cornerstone Forum Board of Directors, I wish you a blessed Christmas and pray that the new year will be filled with grace and peace.

Affectionately,

Gil Bailie

The November E.R.I. Sessions:

Friends,

I am just home from the October sessions of the Emmaus Road Initiative. As daunting as the schedule is, I was repeatedly energized and buoyed up by the attendance and the enthusiasm. I can't tell you how blessed I feel to be able to carry out this work. It simply would not be possible were it not for the incredible support I receive from Randy Coleman-Riese, the Cornerstone Forum Executive Director, and from our many hosts, friends, and donors. I'm immensely grateful.

The theme of the November sessions is "What is happening in history? -- History and Hope."
