Sermon Prep and a Lost Paragraph

Have you ever asked your minister about his or her process for preparing the weekly sermon? If not I encourage you to do so. I posted a bit about my process as well as what I am calling a "lost paragraph" on my blog, Davison's Doodle.

I get the CSM RSS feed and saw this headline: "The beauty of the six-word memoir." What will that be for CCDOC?

Jim Hightower Editoral

I don't listen to Jim Hightower on the radio anymore, but I enjoy reading his writings. Here is a bit of his editorial on TruthOut today.
"Yes, we are a country of rugged individualists, yet there's also a deep, community-minded streak in each of us. We're a people who believe in the notion that we're all in this together, that we can make our individual lives better by contributing to the common good."

I am not a fan of the rewriting of the Order of Ministry that includes an alternative track to ordination. I am almost finished with a somewhat lengthy blog post on my site, Davison's Doodle, that argues against the alternative track based on two points: 1) The AT makes the exception authority of each Regional COM to bless an individuals ordination to serve in a local congregation equal normative; 2) Because our ordination liturgy, and understanding or ordination is ecumenical, it requires… Continue
Waiting, Writing, and Service

This summer we moved to Lynchburg, VA from Kentucky. A new opportunity for my companion moved us. Knowing this time was coming I completed my search and call profile, jumped through the hoops, and am now waiting for the wheels to turn. We bought a historic home here in Lynchburg. Built in 1851, it was restored in 2007, thus we are tending history. It was in our home that John Roberts founded First Christian church, Lynchburg.
