Good News for Your City

 •   • 

good-news-blog-series-picture-300x2912 I am part of a writing project conceived by JR Woodward.  My post will go up on JR’s website on Tuesday April 21st. The task is as follows:

From the streets of LA to the skyscrapers of NYC, from the flats of London to the halls of academia, people are discussing the Good News. In neighborhood coffee shops and congregations alike, people are trying to figure out just what the Good News is. We’ll be exploring the rich and multi-colored tapestry of the Good News in this series.

Contributors to this series include authors, bloggers, professors, and practitioners. You will hear perspectives from different ethnicities and different genders, as well as from Asia, South America, Europe and North America. You can find a full list of contributors here.

In this blog series each of the contributors will be summarizing their understanding of the Good News in 300 to 500 words. Each author is writing their entry as if they were invited by their city newspaper to write an article on the Good News, thus you will find the name of the author’s city newspaper in each entry. This series will challenge us to grow in our ability to share the good news with a variety of people from different perspectives.

The Masai Creed

This is a beautiful expression of the Christian faith from an African perspective. This creed was composed in 1960 by the Masai people of East Africa in collaboration with missionaries from the Congregation of the Holy Ghost. The creed attempts to express the essentials of the Christian faith within the Masai culture. Jaroslav Pelikan, a [...]

The Value of the Local Congregation

It is not easy to pastor a church. Eugene Peterson describes the church as mysterious and messy. The mystery of the church is often overshadowed by the messiness of the church that we encounter on a regular basis. So Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s statement in Life Together always shocks me and humbles me: Pastors should not complain about [...]
