		<description><![CDATA[I was asked to offer the Prayers of the People this Pentecost Sunday. At my former church I regularly gave the Pastoral Prayer in the worship service. As a matter of course a pastoral staff member led in that prayer during Sunday worship, and on occasion, a church member would. The practice is opposite at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are a couple of interesting and worth-reading bible background articles from sources you likely would not expect to find such. I think they are both worth the read: The first is,”The Bible’s Literary Merits,” by Tod Linafelt in The Chronicle Review (April 10, 2009) Selection: It is hard to deny that in many respects [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every once is a while (like last month, in fact) I get a call from a church leaders wanting guidance and ideas about creating a mini-seminary in their congregations. While that idea is driven by a desire to make Christian education more meaningful and effective in their congregations I am always suspect of that approach. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the things my wife asked for Christmas was the missing volumes to her series of Lemony Snicketâ€™s A Series of Unfortunate Events, that outrageously (and refreshingly) â€œdarkâ€ childrenâ€™s books. While many adults enjoy the wry humor in Snicketâ€™s prose, the more significant aspect is childrenâ€™s response to a cycle of stories that have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I observe that more congregations are offering â€œhealing servicesâ€ as part of their ministries. We offered such at my former congregation and every now and then people ask me about it. On those opportunities I stress that it wasnâ€™t a â€œhealing service,â€ but rather, a â€œService of Prayer for Healing and Wholeness.â€ The emphasis was [...]]]></description>

FICTION: The place where the Pilgrims landed in Plymouth, Massachusetts in 1620 is marked by the actual Plymouth Rock on which they stepped onto the New World. FACT: There is [...]]]></description>
