Join me and other clergy and churches as we recognize and provide support to those impacted by gun violence for Survivor Sunday October 13, 2019
Having lost my mother, brother, and nephew to acts of violence, I know first hand what it’s like to have to wrestle with forgiving the individuals who committed the crime against your loved one. In this video I discuss my perspective of the act of forgiveness given by Botham Jean’s brother and the consolation provided by the judge and bailiff (both black women) to Amber Guyger and the controversy and conversation that has since followed. Please watch and share this video and leave comments also. Blessings
The UMC has recently been experiencing some rough patches division partially stemming from it’s position on same sex attracted clergy in ministry and other LGBT issues, and the dynamic growth in more consertive countries outside of the US. While the UMC is leading in the headlines, it isn’t the only mainline Protestant denomination experiencing a decline in young adults entering the ministry. I answered the call to preach at the age of 12, was licensed to preach at 16, ordained in a local Baptist church at 20, re-obligated to the Itinerant ministry in the AME Church at 22.
While many millenial young adults are leaving the church and identifying as nones, the ones who are retaining their membership are not seeking leadership roles in ministry. I am not sure what can be done to change this trend, but the universal church must engage young adults by allowing them to share their gifts and ideas to local faith communities and perhaps we will see more entering ministry and church leadership.
