Wednesday Roundup
by Jim ~ July 16th, 2008. Tags: Books, church, ministry, mission, photography, politics, Wednesday-Roundup.1.) I love some of the stuff that new faith communities are doing…they are bold challenges and proclamations to existing congregations. Internet Monk singles out one new congregation that is committed to giving 60% of their budget to mission!!…If they can do it, why can’t we?
2.) As always Jan raises good observations and questions about the nature of staffing in the established church today. I’d love for her to be a colleague in this presbytery, as we need to hear more of her voice…
3.) Tony Campolo presents what seems like a reasonable, faithful response to the problem of abortion in our country.
4.) How many of the 100 NEA Recommended books of fiction have you read? I’ve read book #6, but I’m not really sure why it’s considered a “work of fiction.”
5.) Today I’ve decided to point to a few of my recent favorite photos from my flickr contacts. I particularly love the lighting in this one and the depth of field in this one.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe made the top 25, but Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Series (a much more important piece of Science Fiction literature written by the creator of the laws of robotics) didn’t make the top 100? The Harry Potter series is in the top 5 and above the Bible (assuming that should even be on the list)? Um… I don’t think so!
