Some blogging changes
Monday, August 11, 2008
A few changes to the Methodist blogging world...
Shane Raynor, who once wrote the highly popular Wesley Blog, has announced that he will be back in September with a new blog called the Wesley Report. Shane's blog did probably more than anything to bring the Methoblogosphere into existence. It's good to see that he'll be back and blogging again.
My friend David Hollis is interested in Christian stewardship as it relates to our use of the environment. In addition to his regular blog, David has started a blog called Going Green for God, where he looks at issues related to consumption, recycling, and the American lifestyle.
Duke divinity folks Tom Arthur, Craig Uffman, and Kevin Poorman have recently started a blog called Worship Review, where he reviews hymns and praise songs for their theological content. I think this blog has a lot of creative potential in an area that is underrepresented in the Methoblogosphere. Check it out.
Also, this isn't exactly brand new, but it's worth a mention. A group of young adult clergy in the North Alabama Conference have started Young Clergy Blog, which discusses issues of ministry as they relate to young clergy. It would be good for them to post a bit more frequently, but if they start doing that this blog has a lot of potential to be a place for needed debate and discussion.
Any other new blog ventures out there? Let me know. I'd like to highlight them for others to know.

I have a blog www.ashlimoore.blogspot.com that is titled Songs of Faith. I am taking a look at contemporary and traditional Christian music as a sort of "devotional" or "bible study" setting. I have a new post coming soon...anticipated to post weekly.
Would love comments.

I'm not new to this (as you know), but I always appreciate new traffic ;)
My ministry venue has changed from suburban North Carolina to rural Illinois, but I continue to blog as a young UM pastor. I pastor an established church that has faced great decline but has the potential for great growth. I also oversee youth/children's ministry at another nearby UMC.
And now my church, Lacon-Sparland UMC, is podcasting our (re: mostly my) sermons.
Andrew,
Thanks for the mention. Just fyi, its not just me who has started this blog. Kevin Poorman and Craig Uffman are also founding members. We've also got several other contributors and plan to slowly but surely build a catalogue of reviews. Thanks again.
Peace,
Tom
Tom -
Thanks for the clarification. Didn't mean to shortchange the other guys. I'll edit their names into the post
