Video: Walter Brueggemann on preaching
Friday, June 12th, 2009
From Ben Sternke: Check out this video of Walter Brueggemann talking about the task of preaching.

Monday, May 4th, 2009
From Alban Weekly: If this approach to change were taken in a congregation, there would be no formal engagement in a step-by-step change process. Instead, these various elements would be introduced over time: The church board would take time on a regular basis to consider the dynamics of change in a congregation and the forces [...]

Charles Spurgeon on 'the Laodicean church'
Monday, April 20th, 2009
I felt convicted by this Spurgeon sermon on Revelation 3:14-21 as I read it at ccel.org: [T]hey were what the world calls “Moderates,” they were of the Broad-church school, they were neither bigots nor Puritans, they were prudent and avoided fanaticism, respectable and averse to excitement. Good things were maintained among them, but they did [...]

Alban Weekly on 'Tending the Embers'
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009
From Alban Weekly: Some churches have become a cold, gray hearth, with nary a sign of life. Others have stoked and tend a full and robust fire. But in between, I am convinced, there are some congregations, maybe more than we’d guess, awaiting a discerning eye to bend close enough to see the glow of [...]

Will Willimon: in praise of contemporary worship
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
From Will Willimon’s blog: I hear that a number of our thriving churches are taking a critical look at their “contemporary worship” services – the services that we began over a decade ago that feature electronic, “contemporary” music and images. We appear to be moving to more eclectic, “ancient-future,” blended sorts of services. I’ve sure [...]

Alban Weekly on 'Optimal Level of Conflict'
Wednesday, February 25th, 2009
From Alban Weekly: Every congregation experiences conflict, even though each one does so in unique ways. The sources of conflict may vary from the micro to the macro–from intrapersonal pathologies to personality differences to globalization forces–but over time they are inescapable. Various studies have shown that organizational leaders and managers spend up to 25 percent [...]
