Blog updating odds and ends...

I've fallen a little behind lately in keeping my United Methodist Reporter column archive up-to-date. I'm happy to report that I finished adding all my recent columns this evening. For those who access my writing in the Reporter via the links on this website, you can find the fully updated list here.

Also, I'm going to be attending a Young Adult Clergy Retreat in Pine Knoll Shores, North Carolina, in a few days. I've been asked by the organizers of the retreat to speak about the book I recently edited, Generation Rising: A Future with Hope for the United Methodist Church. I'm excited about the chance to share the content of the book with a group of young adult clergy leaders in North Carolina. I think there's a lot in the book by the 12 contributors that bears on ministry in the UMC in our day. Our intent in writing it was to take an honest look at where the church finds itself while offering a hopeful path forward for all Christians in the UMC both young and old.

You can find Generation Rising on Cokesbury's website here, while the Amazon page is here. If you are planning on attending your annual conference session in the next few weeks, the title should also be available at annual conference Cokesbury book displays.
