Another Point of View: Future Ministry

A quick note to alert readers of my blog that I’m almost back to my routine of reading and writing.  This summer has been . . . well change filled.  Since May we sold a house we left four years ago. Bought a house during June.  Moved in during July, and are moving my companion from one office to another in her building.  All the while we are going about our vocations as best we know how.  So, my blog moved out of my field of attention.  Slowly, I’m finding my way back.  Here is another perspective about ordained ministry that caught my attention.

No, this is about whether or not individuals, congregations, and larger ecclesial bodies value ordained ministry any longer.  Click here to read more.
