  • “The Art and Practice of Ministry – Part 1” September 18, 2016
    “The Art and Practice of Ministry – Part 1” September 18, 2016 We find ourselves this month at the beginning of our year together—and also near the beginning of your collective quest to call a new minister to come and live and serve among you. All this has led me to contemplate ministry. What do ministers do? Or what are they trying to do? For me, the whole subject is conscience stirring. It forces me to think about what people me and people like Richard Seebode, Jane Bickel (two former ministers here at PUC), are supposedly up to. And to consider the standards (Isaiah, Theodore Parker, Olympia Brown, Kenneth Patton) by which our craft is—and always should be—measured. As your Interim Minister, I’m trying to foster a conversation that asks many questions, none less central than “what is ministry?” Old timers say one should preach on ministry at least twice a year. So I will preach on that question repeatedly. But I must tell at the start, I always find this incredibly difficult, mostly because ministry is, I think, an almost impossible job. 2nd oldest profession; Rabbi Jerome Malino: “If you’re not almost losing your job, then you’re not doing it. This often leads to problems… Young seminary graduate: preached his first sermon on “Following the Teachings of Jesus.” And then his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sermons. Until…. Theodore Parker preached on abolition something like 75 times in a row. William Ellery Channing’s anti-slavery sermons irritated his largest contributors, many of whom made their fortunes in the shipping and textile industries.

    Creating Theology Together A Curriculum for Spiritual Leadership Development John Morehouse Version 1.1 Copyright © 2015 John Morehouse – All rights reserved 2 DEDICATION Dedicated To Francis, My Partner in Love, Life and Faith Version 1.1 Copyright © 2015 John Morehouse – All rights Reserved Creating Theology Together: A Curriculum for Spiritual Leadership Development 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS No body of work is created alone. Embedded within this thesis are comments, edits, ideas and corrections by a great many. First and foremost, I want acknowledge my wife Francis, who patiently listened to my ideas and offered both subtle and more forceful suggestions. As a former religious educator, she knows a few things about what would work and what would not in a curriculum. We remain, as always, partners in ministry and in this hopeful faith. I also want to acknowledge my daughters, Portia, Fiona, Courteny, Emma, Madeline and Sayo as well as my son-in-laws Dr. Aaron Morehouse, Scott Taylor and Efren Cazares for all their suggestions and encouragement. I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Michael Hogue my primary academic advisor for his encouragement and scholarly guidance. A parish minister tends to lose sight of the bigger contributions a curriculum such as this can offer our religious movement. Mike encouraged me to keep pushing at the big ideas. I also thank Dr. Mark Hicks, who as a Professor of Religious Education, offered telling and tremendous insight into my thinking. Both these professors pushed me to consider how this work might challenge the systems of oppression that we, as a privileged religious group, need to confront.
