We must no longer be children . . . but speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ . . . Eph 4:11-15CompassHand

Last Sunday, Holy Trinity held a congregational meeting to discuss some of the challenges we’ll face in 2011. The most obvious challenge—and perhaps the most anxiety provoking—is a financial one. When the bishop placed Trinity in mission status in 2007, the plan was to use our relatively small endowment to cover the several years of budget deficits that are expected in restart congregations. Like all churches who seek to restart without the security of bottomless pockets, we now find ourselves at a turning point. (more…)

“Risking Our Souls” by Jeffrey MacDonald a potential book for serious summer reading

by James P. Wind president of the Alban Institute

A new book by G. Jeffrey MacDonald provocatively picks up one of the most powerful New Testament images — Jesus’ head-on collision with thieving merchants in the Temple at Jerusalem — and applies it to American congregational life, especially its Protestant versions. In Thieves in the Temple: The Christian Church and the Selling of the American Soul (Basic Books, 2010), MacDonald, a UCC pastor and award-winning journalist who covers the religion beat, gives a series of troubling examples of how the Almighty Market, particularly in its latest American Consumer-Driven incarnation, has overwhelmed, or at least diluted, the soul, or essential character, of our religious communities.
