All of the questions
This week we asked our bloggers to reflect on their ordinations. Here are their blogs. I can’t really remember my ordination vows. Not off the top of my head. Is that bad? I know how to look them up in the Book of Order. I haven’t in a while, but I could. My solemn vows should be written on my heart to guide me but they aren’t. There’s Clash lyrics there instead, I think. Oops. I worried over those questions a lot in the days leading up to my ordination day.… continue reading... -

The chase
I learned to run by chasing my father. To wait on a front stoop with laced shoes was to demand entrance into a space I had not been invited. Never mind the family business and loads of stress, or the need for a quiet hour to himself, I was determined. The trick was to slip out the front door undetected, to avoid a mother’s suggestion of letting him run alone. To sneak into the cacophony of summer cicadas after the garage door closed and before his bedroom door opened was… continue reading... -

“This is my body”
It was Sunday morning and there we were, clustered together, in a little church on the south side of Chicago. We were deeply engaged in our weekly ritual of attending church. But attending doesn’t get to the heart of our gathering — attending brought remembrance, sought reconciliation and release and empowerment. We were in church and singing hymns while much more was happening within and among us. These hymns seemed to open the floodgates of heaven. You could really lose yourself in the singing and we often did, especially when… continue reading...

Up and running: Reconfigured Presbyterian Church (U.S.A), A Corporation, board convenes for its first meeting September 4, 2018 Outlook Reporting2 comments LOUISVILLE – The newly-reconfigured board of the Presbyterian Church (U.SA.), A Corporation, is up and running – and the list of questions or issues it may need to take on in the months to come is considerable.
That new board is holding its first meeting Sept. 4-5 in Louisville, with the first day spent on introducing the people and some of the issues involved, and with the board expected to take its first votes Sept. 5, including electing its chair, considering its committee structure and electing at least some officers of the corporation.
The first day’s discussion, however, also demonstrated in broad...
Stony Point to receive year-by-year funding from Presbyterian Mission Agency April 26, 2018 Outlook Reporting2 comments CINCINNATI – The Presbyterian Mission Agency Board voted April 26 to provide at least a year’s funding to Stony Point Center for capital improvements – and voiced its support of Stony Point as being an important ministry of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).
The board’s Stony Point Sustainability Task Force had asked the board to approve spending $3 million over three years for deferred maintenance and capital improvements at Stony Point, a facility of more than 30 acres about an hour outside New York City.
That money, however, would have had to come from Presbyter...
Taking a long look October 15, 2018 Editorials1 comment The title of the project that has culminated in the articles you will find in this issue of the Outlook is ambitious, audacious even: “Taking a long look: Using long-form, narrative, theological essays to transform issues into empathy and foster thoughtful discussion on contentious topics.” That is a complicated way of saying, “I want to tell stories that will help us talk about difficult topics in nuanced, theological ways.”
Over a year ago I was given the great gift of being invited to apply for a Duke Faith and Leadership Innovation Grant and I wrote the following in my applicati...

Stated Clerk responds to new United Nations report on climate change
The Rev. Dr. J. Herbert Nelson, II, Stated Clerk of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) calls for bold action in response to a new United Nations report on climate change. According to a U.N. international panel, earth’s atmosphere could warm by as much as 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit above preindustrial levels in the next 12 years. The results could mean intensified drought and poverty, leading to food shortages and wildfires among other problems, says Nelson. “We want for our children to breathe clean air and drink clean water,” he said. “We do not desire for lives and churches to be consistently disrupted by natural disasters caused by climate change.” Nelson urges churches and communities to become energy efficient, lower the carbon footprint and advocate for safe environmental policies at all levels of government.
