The Wedding Dilemma
|
Ministers have to deal with weddings. It's part of the job. Performing weddings for people in our churches is actually fun. But it's not so fun when people call on the phone, looking for some minister - any minister - to do their wedding. You can get the feeling that our Christian wedding tradition - an act of worship - has been reduced to a candle stand... Read More + |

Tech Report from Jubilee: Sometimes culture making doesn't make millions
|
|
Marcus here. I spent yesterday with L. L. Barkat of Seedlings in Stone and Sam Van Eman of New Breed of Advertisers at the opening of Jubilee in Pittsburgh. This thing is like nothing I've ever seen. I'm not sure it fits under social media tips exactly, but I wanted it to be on the home page for a couple of days. So here it is. And here is the... Read More + |

Lenten Invitation
|
|
Christine Sine over at Godspace has offered us an invitation to join her in an exercise in being intentional with Lent this year. I like Lent. Well, one wonders if "like" is the right word. I grew up Baptist, so we didn't do Lent. It was too Catholic for Baptists in those days. But Lent is catching on. And why not? It is a 40 day period of prayer,... Read More + |

Being there is the thing
|
|
When I was beginning chaplain training, shortly after I graduated from seminary, I confessed to my supervisor that I had NO IDEA what I was going to say to people who were dying or had lost a loved one. I remember that I thought there must be some pretty words that the chaplain could say to make people feel better. At that time I thought "feel better"... Read More + |

Daily Reflection From Laity Lodge
Consequently...
"Consequently..." Every time I hear or read this word, I am transported back to junior high school. I'm sitting in my ninth grade Spanish class, listening to my teacher say the word "consequently"... Read More +
