Greetings, e-Readers!
Annual Conference season has begun, and for many clergy
families, that means the season of relocating is just around the corner. For
our cover feature, Mary Jacobs talked with United Methodist clergy who, when
accepting the call to ministry, also accept the likelihood that their families
will be uprooted every few years.
And I recently spoke with Ron Hall and Denver Moore, co-authors of Same Kind of Different as Me, about their story, their friendship and their ministry that is helping to change how society views homeless people. We have a second Q&A, too, from Mary's conversation with the co-authors of Discovering Jesus-a practicing Jew and an Episcopal priest who are also a married couple.
Commentaries include one from Eric Van Meter, who wrestles with the pressure he feels to "save" the UMC; Donald Haynes' second installment on Calvinism for his Wesleyan Wisdom column; and the last in a series of excerpts on wisdom for these challenging economic times from Adam Hamilton's book Enough.
Plus, military chaplains offer valuable advice on welcoming soldiers back from war zones; an update on earthquake recovery in China; Bill Fentum's film review of Angels & Demons; History of Hymns and more.
Enjoy!
