Darlings, I’m really starting to look forward to our gathering next weekend for an ecumenical conversation on Christian Unity in the Digital Age. You can read all about it and register here. I started preparing my talk and workshop in earnest today and it’s exciting to have so much that I can’t wait to share.
One of my plans for today is to hunker down and read tons of Pastor Keith Anderson’s posts about digital ministry. It’s something I have been meaning to do for a long time and knowing that I’ll be meeting him next week makes it feel like something I don’t want to put off any longer.
I am also reading S. Mark Heim’s Saved From Sacrifice: A Theology of the Cross and Edwin Friedman’s A Failure of Nerve: Leadership in the Age of the Quick Fix. Both of them are wonderful and I want to particularly thank whichever of my pigeons it was who recommended Friedman to me. Girls and boys, you CANNOT miss the chapter “Survival In A Hostile Environment: The Fallacy of Empathy,” especially if you serve in the liberal church. I’ll be blogging on it over at PeaceBang.com.
See some of you next Saturday! Let me know if you’re coming so I can look for you.
