Hidden Hate – Open Rebuke
Byhenry November 4, 2006
Yesterday I had planned to write a response to the Ted Haggard situation, but other issues got in the way, and then the story developed. I was going to talk some about the meaning of forgiveness combined with accountability and openness. I would have said that we didn’t know yet precisely what had happened, but…

John Meunier Wants to be a Methodist
Byhenry February 23, 2011
No, not just a member of a United Methodist congregation, but a Methodist. He has been reading Scott Kisker, and after his discussion he notes: I don’t want something more than they do. “More” is not the right word. I want something real. I want to be part of the movement that started in a fishing…

The Book I Can’t Give Away

Measuring the Wrong Thing in the Wrong Way
Byhenry April 12, 2019
A few years ago I heard a story about a Methodist District Superintendent who was visiting a church in his district. The church was conducting an afternoon training event. At the height of this event, the superintendent asks the pastor of the church how many people he thought were in attendance. The pastor looked around…

1st Century Church?
Byhenry March 15, 2012
My wife Jody is again writing about the first century church. She wonders if we want to just visit it for one hour per week. We have both previously written on this topic. To be honest, I don’t think that many people are really interested in a church like the first century church. I suspect…
