Here goes--again!

Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! Well, it was nearly two years ago that I created this blog. As you can easily see, I never went back to use it. I'm excited by the possibilities of this type of thing, but a little bewildered as to how to go about it.

I'm in the office preparing a class for the St. john's Episcopal Men's Breakfast Group about the trials and tribulations (and gifts and graces!) of being a Methodist pastor. I'm finding myself strangely intimidated--not strangely warmed! But the review of Methodist history has been good for me. What an amazing set of circumstances has brought or church to the place it is today!

Just think--if John Wesley had persisted in his conviction that Methodist pastors had to be ordained Anglican (Church of England) priests, we would never have even taken root on this continent, never mind flourished the way we did.

God is good--all the time!

In Christ's service,
Pastor Barbara
