It was an interesting call. David Wilson, Editor of The United Church Observer, calling to invite me to sit down with Connie denBok and have a recorded conversation. Connie is also a United Church minister but, unlike me, she doesn’t believe the word god should be left out of church. She hasn’t had a lot of nice things to say about the work I do. I say a lot about the kind of work she does and I don’t imagine she thinks much of it is nice either. But it’s clear.
Here’s our conversation. What do you think? Is it possible to get a clear picture of what each of us believes, or do the details get lost in the interaction? Let me know what you think.
Beyond Belief: Atheist vs. Believer
Really interesting how much you two ministers do share. Good questions too. I think that people will gravitate to the ministerial care that best meets their individual needs and comfort zones. At least, that’s what I am doing.
This shoe fits for me!
Thanks, Wendy! You’ve really hit the most important element of the work we do at West Hill: creating a place for those who otherwise would not have a place to go.
