Wednesday Roundup
by Jim ~ April 30th, 2008. Tags: art, ministry, photography, theodicy, Wednesday-Roundup.I’ve not run across a whole lot of things to point to this week, but here are a few items:
1.) While I personally object to calling those who serve the church volunteers (Did Jesus call the 12 volunteers? I don’t think so…), I do think there are some helpful thoughts in this post “The Top 5 Volunteer No-No’s.”
2.) Christine Sine shares the source of those amazing icons she’s been using to illustrate her posts.
3.) One of my favorite biblical scholars, NT Wright, engages in a debate about God and our pain on beliefnet with Bart Ehrman.
4.) Here is this week’s photo of beauty.

Thanks for the shout out, and I wouldn’t disagree with your thoughts on the idea of calling people who serve in the church as “volunteers”, it almost presumes a disconnect while “disciples” communicates a personal engagement and investment. Language does matter. Unfortunately, volunteers has become the vernacular, so at times it is hard to get away from it.
