The dangers of providing pastoral care
I hope you enjoy this interview Stanley Hauerwas and I did for our friends over at The Christian Century. “Woundedness is the predictable price we pay for being sent on outrageous assignments by Jesus.” https://www.christiancentury.org/article/interview/dangers-providing-pastoral-care
Some thoughts on evangelism
Here’s a video titled “After Church History: Can Canadian Christians Evangelize?” I join my friend Rev. Dr. Jason Byassee, who’s on the faculty at Vancouver School of Theology. We talk about a “post-colonial, post-imperialist, unapologetic apology for Christian witness today.” Enjoy!
Grumpy Old Men
The gang at Crackers&Grape Juice is featuring me and Tony Robinson responding to questions from pastors and other church leaders. We Grumpy Old Men welcome your questions and we’ll have fun responding.
“I feared boredom more than heresy. They said nasty things about Jesus. Nobody ever said he was dull.”
Will Willimon, Accidental preacher
One of Will’s most recent publications, a memoir entitled Accidental Preacher, recounts, with characteristic wit and humor, moments from his rich vocational life.
Beginning with his childhood in a segregated South, Will moves through story after story of a life spent responding to God’s constant call.
