Not sure I'm worthy of keeping company with the other blogs on the list, but I'll try. You're absolutely right about the origins of the blog, and sharing other voices and ideas. In a culture where too often it's "all about me" it would be great to see blogging return to its roots... Wow–thanks for the ref!

I really enjoyed putting this sermon together because, like you, the scripture really forced me to get outside the box with how I perceive Jesus. How has your perspective changed over time? Sophia-

]]> Comment on An Open Letter to Congregations Welcoming New Pastors by Tony Myles http://rduren.wordpress.com/2008/01/02/an-open-letter-to-congregations-receiving-new-pastors/#comment-2895 Tony Myles Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:08:07 +0000 http://rduren.wordpress.com/2008/01/02/an-open-letter-to-congregations-receiving-new-pastors/#comment-2895 From someone who's been in your shoes... when that new pastor comes on board you will need to reapply for your job. By this I don't mean professionally or even realistically. What I mean is read the signs of what the "new job description" for your position would be if he was on staff and you were checking out the church. In this way you give him the mental authority in your head he needs from you and also remember that your role is and will be shifting. Trust me on this one. And email me if the journey gets bumpy... I pray it only gets better. From someone who’s been in your shoes… when that new pastor comes on board you will need to reapply for your job.
