Seven Mistakes Every Church Should Avoid
Whether you agree with any or all of the "mistakes" mentioned in this article, it is certainly worth the read and can serve as a helpful springboard for discussion on the biblical/theological/historical nature of the Church.
Why men have stopped singing in church
A fascinating discussion is unfolding at churchformen.com regarding the disappearance of singing (especially by men) in most churches with a contemporary bent. Although I consider worship to be much more holistic and diverse than what the author is focused on, the discussion there is nonetheless a worthwhile read.
The Anglican-Episcopal Divide Widens Further
NT Wright offers a honest and somewhat heavy-hearted perspective regarding The Episcopal Church (TEC) in the U.S., and their decision to further formalize their decision to appoint to all orders of ministry, persons in active same-sex relationships. This marks a clear break with the rest of the Anglican Communion.
"I Am Second"- Incredible Personal Stories
Personal testimony stories are a dime-a-dozen on the internet. YouTube and a plethora of other sites offer them. But you will NEVER find striking personal stories about life and loss and struggle and victory and faith like you will encounter at www.iamsecond.com. This is a resource site you MUST visit for yourself and then bookmark.
Charles Wesley's secret code diary cracked by priest
An Anglican priest has unlocked the 270-year-old secrets of Charles Wesley's coded diary, throwing light on the turbulent relationship that he had with his brother John in the early years of the Methodist movement they founded... The “hidden” material offers an insight into Wesley's fierce determination to prevent the Methodist societies from breaking away from the Church of England, and disagreements with his more influential older brother.

Whew! It's Finished!

It probably seems like I dropped off the face of the earth these past few weeks -- and I kinda did! I've been working like a dog, trying to finish my final two courses for the completion of my M.Div. And finally...

I'M DONE!!!

And before I move on to what's next, I'm TAKING A BREAK!

(but NOT a break from blogging -- Oh no! I've got a lot of catching up to do, and you'll start seeing the change within the next few days)

Anyway, an "update" on what's been going on with me has been long overdue.

congratulations, btw:

It is impossible to understand an infinite God with a finite HUMAN mind. the question of "where do aborted babies go?" has been given the answer that they go to a place called "limbo", which is somewhat like a secondary heaven. I do not believe in that, my conscience tells me that it is not fair that they must settle with a secondary heaven because of something they had no control over. I believe that the God who created the universe has something else in mind. We cannot limit him to such things as "limbo", for an infinite God has infinite possibilities.
