Well, as you can see, my blogging has slowed over the last few weeks. I have hit a very busy spell at church and it has squeezed out blogging time. But I think I am ready for another run at it.
Here is my plan. I hope to write a short series of blogs about a topic that has fascinated and concerned me for a while. The inquiry is... how much of what we do at church (meaning particularly the North American church - even though there is much diversity even in North American) matches the ministry and concerns that Jesus had. It is a difficult topic and I know it is tricky trying to draw a straight line from what Jesus was doing to what we should be doing - I understand the cultural and historical challenges. But I am surprised at how little attention Jesus gets in most churches. Maybe you are surprised at that last statement - and that is what I hope to tease out in the next few blogs.

I am so looking forward to this conversation. Jesus as our leader, has so often been replaced by Bill, Rick, John, Rob... It will be good to see where the church seems to be getting it right too!
lead us on!
