Miscellanies

A few days ago, I posted about Lovett Weems and Ann Michel's new book, The Crisis of Younger Clergy. In addition to the related UMR column I wrote, I also did a book review on it for the Reporter which has now been posted online.
You also might be interested in this interview with Bishop Will Willimon, who leads the church's North Alabama Conference. The interview mostly covers Bishop Willimon's blogging and connections to both clergy and laity through the blogosphere and e-mail. But ironically, the article never gives the actual address to the bishop's blog! If you'd like to check it out, it is called A Peculiar Prophet and can be found here. Bishop Willimon has also recently gotten a Young Clergy Blog started, which I assume is maintained by the clergy of his annual conference. I don't know much about it though, so if anyone else knows more feel free to fill in the details.

I've checked in on Willimon's young clergy blog quite a few times. The posts are pretty good. Of real interest was their reported findings in detailed interviews with their young clergy. Supervision was highly requested. Not "I'll see you at charge conference and appointment meetings," but real mentorship for ministry. Good stuff.
The young clergy blog is run by young clergy from the North Alabama Conference...Bishop Willimon adds comments via e-mail. It is open to thoughts from outside of North Alabama as well. You can submit posts by contacting the North Alabama conference. We hope to have a post by members of the Holston Conference soon.
Thanks for the clarification on that. I look forward to checking in with the Young Clergy Blog more in the future.
