A question i often ask myself. Most weeks on the blog, a link gets posted from Timothy’s site, linking to something i’ve written. Every week i think “that’s nice“, and go no further.

I have been … Continue reading Saturday December 13th – The Fourteenth Day of Advent #Beloved

What might it mean that all are sought? We pick up the conversation from last week where we discussed the idea of “all are welcome.” If the church, and its congregations are going to actively claim that “all are welcome,” I believe it needs to take seriously the conception that “all are sought.” So what might this mean? It starts in a missional understanding … Continue reading “All are Sought”
Continuing in the series of posts that began with the previous post, I continue to offer reflections as I read and reread Anthony B. Robinson’s Transforming Congregational Culture. Robinson’s second chapter lays the groundwork for how difficult cultural change can be. He brings Ron Heifetz and Marty Linsky into the conversation with their vocabulary of “technical work” or “technical changes” and “adaptive changes.” Its within this … Continue reading “The Challenge We Face, Part II”
