An Online Who's Who

The release of Generation Rising: A Future with Hope for the United Methodist Church is right around the corner. It will appear in both print and e-book editions simultaneously, and I posted not long ago about some of the online retailers who will be carrying it.

Several of the contributors to the book have a web presence, and I thought it might be helpful to point to those folks.

They include:

Sarah Arthur, a writer with a background in youth ministry who is the author of Walking with Frodo and The God-Hungry Imagination. Sarah maintains a website that focuses on her writing and speaking ministry. You can find it here.

Shane Raynor, a blogger and editor for MinistryMatters.com, who is well-known to those who spend any time in the Methodist corner of the blogosphere. Shane's personal website can be found at this link.

Rev. Kevin Watson, a pastor from the Oklahoma Conference who is the author of A Blueprint for Discipleship. Kevin writes a widely-read blog called Deeply Committed that can be found here.

Dr. Doug Powe, who holds the E. Stanley Jones Chair in Evangelism at the St. Paul School of Theology. Doug's most recent book is Just Us or Justice? Moving Toward a Pan-Methodist Theology. His faculty bio page at St. Paul can be accessed at this link.

Dr. Joy Moore, who teaches homiletics at Duke Divinity School and serves as the Associate Dean for Black Church Studies and Church Relations. Joy's faculty bio page at Duke is available here.

Rev. Jeff Conklin-Miller, a pastor from the California-Pacific Annual Conference who serves as the Director of Youth Ministry Initiatives at Duke Divinity School. A webpage on Jeff's work at Duke can be found at this link.

The other contributors to Generation Rising include Presian Burroughs, Arnold Oh, Julie O'Neal, Rev. Timothy Eberhart, and Rev. Eric Van Meter.

In a previous post I listed the chapter topics in connected with each of their authors. You can find that listing here.
