Beginnings . . .

I begin this blog with high hopes. I long for places where one can come to discuss and speak one's mind without being assaulted by ideologues! These people force their ideas onto others without ever wondering if it is proper to do so. I just left a place with such people. I hope this blog will be a place for open discussion, for theological inquiry, and intellectual integrity. I will endeavor to post each week with my sermon preparation, my musings from pastoral ministry in a place of immense beauty and hardships, and my ideas as to what the church of the 21st century might need to be a place of peace, a place of hope, and a place of God's moving in the world. We begin fresh!
