Inspiring a Wholehearted Faith in a Half-hearted Age

Mark you calendars for January.
TOPA Message from Gil Bailie

Dear Friends,

As I mentioned in last week's unscheduled newsletter, despite the economic difficulties we are all facing, and the strain on our limited resources we are now experiencing, we are making every effort to complete the last five months of the current Emmaus Road Initiative series.

If you live close enough to one of the January sessions, I hope you will join us and bring along any friends who might be interested. If you don't live in one of the host cities but have friends who do, perhaps you could forward this email to them by clicking on the "forward email" link at the bottom of the newsletter.

The topic for this month's Emmaus Road Initiative is:

"Why did it take the Incarnation to save us?"

As I said in last week's newsletter, we have redesigned our website, making it easier to download free audio files, order CDs, and make donations -- all of which I hope you will consider. If you have any questions about donations to the Forum, our executive director, Randy Coleman-Riese, has a message at the end of this newsletter, along with his contact information.

Since I have often been asked for copies of the notes of my ERI talks, I have decided to post a few outtakes from my notes as occasional weblog posts. So I am including a link to weblog along with links to the Cornerstone Forum homepage and our donations page.

Since our website addresses have changed, if you have bookmarked any of our old web pages, please remember to refresh your bookmarks when you visit the new ones.

As indicated below, there is one temporary change this month:

The session at the Catholic Information Center in Washington DC coincides with Inauguration Day, and the city will be impassible. We're canceling the January session, but we will have CDs of the session available at the February session.

Thank you so much for helping to make our work possible.

With affection and gratitude,

Gil Bailie

Dear Friends,

Now that we have improved our online donations page, those wishing to support our work with tax-exempt contributions will find it much easier.

There are other ways you can contribute, however. You can simply send a tax-deductible donation to:

The Cornerstone Forum
Post Office Box 9249
Santa Rosa, California 95405

Alternately, there are a number of monthly donors who contribute through the automated online banking system of their own bank. The donation is processed at the donor's bank and a check for the amount of the donation is simply sent to the Cornerstone Forum by regular mail. If you have any questions about this way of donating, or if I can assist in any other way, please contact me: toll-free: 866-506-5451, ext. 703 or email me at: randy@cornerstone-forum.org

And finally, we welcome the opportunity to speak with those interested in making a more substantial contribution to our work. If you would like to discuss a more generous program of support, please contact me or Gil Bailie and we will arrange to meet with you to discuss our work and our needs. You may reach me by email, or call me toll free at 866-506-5451, extension 703, or you can contact Gil Bailie by simply replying to this email newsletter.

We are sincerely grateful for your support, encouragement, and prayers.

Randy Coleman-Riese
