• Timothy Travis on Bonnie Tinker: I told them that working with Bonnie Tinker changed me--changed us, because they were along much of the time. Sometimes I dreaded a call from Bonnie because she was involved with hard, hard stuff and was calling to involve me and my family in it. And I knew we had to be there, that we wanted to be there; it's just that it was so hard, what she took on, it demanded so much. Sometimes I wasn't strong enough (yet?) to be responsible--t o respond as I wanted to--to her call. And sometimes I was.
• Portland activist Bonnie Tinker dies in bike accident in Virginia - OregonLive.com: Portland activist Bonnie Tinker, 61, died Thursday in a bicycle accident on the Virginia Tech University campus, the Virginia State Police have confirmed. Tinker, a member of Seriously P.O.'d Grannies and director of Love Makes a Family in the Portland area, was cycling about 4:30 p.m. when a 1978 Mack truck turned right in front of her, a state police dispatcher said.
• Aj Schwanz on the difference between youth ministry and youth groups: In my history of being part of faith communities I realized that those who are ?group?-orient ed seem more clubish, more ?come in, be one of us?, more fractured, more self-intereste d. Those that were ?ministry?-0ri ented thought of the bigger picture, had more awareness of the each other, practiced more over-arching hospitality. And in my faith gathering we have many ministries, but not a lot of groups ? but the places where there are groups, we seem to have more lack of communication and conflict with each other.
• Eileen Flanagan: Remembering Bonnie Tinker #fgc09: [It] struck me last night was the clarity about what?s important. When people were remembering Bonnie, no one said, ?What a beautiful house she had,? or ?What fine clothes.? They remembered her spirit, her dedication, her passion?things that don?t add to one?s carbon footprint. As I try to figure out how to wrap up a workshop on the Serenity Prayer, I?m left with the thought that in addition to grief, the loss of a friend can give us clarity about our priorities and our purpose.
