DOG AND CAT THEOLOGY

Dr. Bob Saucy talked about this book in Theology of Human Nature yesterday. The 'joke' below is apparently a good summary statement for the book. By the way, I've added it to my wish list, if anyone is in a generous mood... Christmas isn't that far away:-)

Amazon.com: Books: Cat & Dog Theology: Rethinking Our Relationship With Our Master: "A dog says, 'You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me, you must be God.' A cat says, 'You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me, I must be God.'"

LONG-TERM PASTORATE

For my pastoral ministry class we read an article by Russell Green entitled, "Healthy Church Growth Happens When Pastors Stay a Long Time." (sorry, but I think it's unpublished, so no quotes, no link, etc) . Well, it got me thinking about the essential nature of the pastorate and the church. Are pastors inherent of adherent? Preliminary thoughts are posted on the new Writings blog.
