Just a few minutes ago, Doug Johnson, pastor of the Cleveland, OH and Meadville, PA congregations, sent out a resignation letter. I don’t have permission to print it, so I won’t, and I’m not inclined to ask for that privilege. Let’s just say it was obviously a heart-felt and difficult…
[Updated 28 December 2010] One recent commenter wrote: “The LCG needs people it can control.” Well, apparently, so does UCG these days. I’ve heard that Dennis Luker gave the sermon during the United WFW, but it appears to not be true that he called those leaving and/or criticizing UCG as…

An Open Letter to President Denny Luker – December 22, 2010 Mr. Luker, with concern for the brethren we serve and gratitude for the leadership that is being shown, I would like to highlight seven things that you have caused to happen in the United Church of God. After years…

Earlier today, at Inside United: Realtime, a new letter addressed to both the ministry and the members was put out, “Dec. 23 Letter to Ministers and Members”. Unlike some other letters, it is addressed to “Dear Ministers and Members”. I initally thought about commenting on it, and then I decided…
Shadows of WCG Next Generation posted the preliminary results of a poll. AFAIK, the poll is still open for voting, though. While I don’t endorse everything on the site, “J” has, at least IMO, bent over backwards to give credit where credit is due and vice-versa. The poll really is…
