New feature for Gen-X Rising

You may have noticed a new feature on my blog over the past few days. If you look over to the right-hand sidebar, there's a new widget with the heading of "Faith & Leadership." It's a helpful resource for people who are interested in reading about issues of the Christian church and ministry, so I wanted to let my readers know a little bit about it.

Faith & Leadership is the web magazine published by Leadership Education at Duke Divinity (LEADD), a center affiliated with Duke Divinity School that - in its own words - "cultivates thriving communities that are signs, foretastes, and instruments of the reign of God." LEADD has been created in the years since I've been studying and working at Duke, and it has been fascinating to see what the center has been attempting to do. From its online publishing efforts to a variety of conferences it has held here in Durham, LEADD is seeking to be at the forefront of coordinating Christian leadership in an ecumenical vision.

More specifically, Faith & Leadership is an online effort by LEADD to provide resources for Christian leaders in the church everywhere. The widget I've installed on my blog links to Faith & Leadership's blog, called Call & Response. The blog posts daily links to story headlines in addition to its own original commentary by a variety of authors.

Feel free to use the new feature on my site to check out Faith & Leadership's material. And feel free to leave any comments about what you think about it -- either here or on the Call & Response blog itself. I am not affiliated with Faith & Leadership in anyway, although I did write a freelance article on Generation X's views of the institutional church for them awhile back which you can access at this link.
