I’ve added Bradley Wright to my links to blogs that I visit regularly. He has a good post on November 26 in which he writes about the characteristics of good blogging. How often should one blog. Quality over quantity and questions like that.
Haven’t had much time to blog lately. Ira is on sabbatical so I’m picking up with a few more things at SMC. Extra time given to refugee support as well.
Just haven’t had any energy left for the blogging discipline. Blogging as a spiritual discipline for the Christian contemplative.
I have been thinking for some time that [...]
At the seminar hosted by SMC last week, Ken Mueller showed this very funny video clip from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. In this piece, Dimitri Martin highlights the phenomenon that is social networking and online journaling (weblogging).
Enjoy!
I have been thinking of doing a post on the sociology of blogging. Cultural analysis. Sociology of [...]
This is weird. Was last Friday the day for newspapers to run stories on blogging or something? Here is a piece that ran in the Tulsa World last Friday on church leaders who blog.
Andrew Jones (a.k.a. Tall Skinny Kiwi) has an interesting post today on icons and the emerging church. For those of you outside the orbit of emergent church stuff, Andrew Jones is a protagonist in the movement. He is more involved on the other side of the big pond with Dawn Ministries in Europe. I actually [...]
The other day I spoke with a reporter for Lancaster Newspapers who is working on a possible story on clergy who blog. She asked me what was behind the title of my blog—Just an Apprentice. I thought I would reflect on this question a bit with this post.
Dallas Willard, in his book Divine Conspiracy, writes [...]
So I am finally getting around to working on the website for SMC. This is an experiment in another layer of communal identity and interaction. Will we own this space as part of our congregational life? That is the question.
Perhaps, for some the internet is not helpful layer of community life and conversation. It certainly [...]
I just found out that Jim Wallis is coming to speak in Lancaster on December 6. That’s great news. Hope to go see him. The inter-church peace witness is helping bring him to this area.
Weblogs are an interesting phenomena. The fact of the matter is that despite the pretense of disclosure and transparency, I [...]
I just heard back from blogger support. They helped me find my way back to my “just an apprentice” so all is not lost.
Ira and I traveled to Harrisonburg, Virginia today to spend some time at Eastern Mennonite Seminary. Orientation for site supervisors–this has to do with Jean’s field experience at Sunnyside.
We did not find [...]
