Thank you so very much for this encouraging essay. I work with many despondent clergy. That last paragraph is beautiful and really could be the clarion
Claiming the center for churches of the West and its learning institutions where the past and the future are "coherently" organized has been a pervasive problem. I detect a failure to place "community" at the forefront of such conversations. It could be we are selling Christianized secularism as a legitimately NT teaching.
Thank you, for this much needed reflection on the churn and God’s Grace. When I left lay leadership to enter the clergy ranks, what inspired me was the need to proclaim the Good News of God’s Grace in Jesus Christ. Now in my fifteenth year, I continue to be inspired that way. Thanks be to God I’m blessed with a small rural church that is thriving and embodying the grace that is our God.
Sorry, old man hits the wrong button! Your last paragraph may function as a clarion call for us proclaimers of the Gospel to listen for it, ourselves.
I couldn’t agree with you more. Thank you.
