Anthology Project
Writers of Meaning: An Anthology on Community will be available on Amazon on August 31, 2024. Then a few days afterwards the book will be available on Barnes & Noble and others
This anthology is a collaboration which features stories and essays. The contributors and volunteers of this project are members of the Bridges of Meaning Discord server. Community is the theme of this book, because that’s the main purpose of the Bridges of Meaning Discord: to foster and facilitate “in real life” community to have more meaningful, good faith conversations in person and online. Estuary is a small group vehicle to have these discussions. There have been numerous festivals, conferences and events around the world promoting and practicing Estuary.
Good community is sorely needed in our divided culture. We’re not perfect, but we’re talking and learning from each other. We come from all walks of life. Some are atheists and agnostics while others are from different faiths. Spanning across political persuasions and countries. Making real connections, friendships and a few folks have even gotten married and had children in our little corner of the internet. We have proven you can have deeper meaningful friendships and conversations with those you disagree with.
The Bridges of Meaning Discord was started by a member of Pastor Paul Vander Klay’s Estuary. He wanted to create an online space to facilitate other people around the world having the same kinds of meaningful and deeper conversations and strong bonds that they had in their local Estuary.
The proceeds of this book go towards supporting Paul Vander Klay’s ministry. Because he was our inspiration and shepherd guiding us into community with each other.

Writers of Meaning YouTube Podcast
We needed a way to connect and communicate to the Bridges of Meaning online community and many of them are on YouTube. So since Valerie is in charge of public relations for the book, she stepped into the arena to promote the Writers of Meaning anthology project to our community and the public.
