Tribute to Henry Evans

February 9, 2021

As February has become “Black History Month” I decided to do an article on this subject. I chose to do one on Henry Evans, the African American who so famously bought Methodism to Fayetteville, NC. As I was gathering information on Rev. Evans, I came upon an already written article on Henry Evans in the… Continue Reading→

What I Read in 2020

January 11, 2021

I hope it’s not too late to post my “what I read last year” list! In 2020, I read my typical eclectic assortment of books. I did focus on anti-racism reading, both fiction and non-fiction. The titles that I starred are written by people of color. I am always looking for good books to read… Continue Reading→

Lead guitarist, Nigel Tufnel, brilliantly played by actor Christopher Guest, is giving director, Marty di Bergi, a tour of the band’s equipment. Nigel shows off some of his guitars and then turns… Continue Reading→

Systems resist change because systems seek self-preservation. Self-preservation can be found in what is familiar to the system. Typically, the way “things have always been done” is what… Continue Reading→

The More Things Change

August 11, 2020

“The more things change, the more they stay the same.” This saying is probably familiar to many of us. It is actually a translation of a French phrase coined in 1849 by writer Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr. The epigram is often said with an air of resignation as a wry comment on the difficulties of deep… Continue Reading→

528 years

June 8, 2020

Before COVID-19 hit the United States, I was posting about Bowen Family Systems Theory. I described family systems and argued that religious groups operate like family systems. I had listed the eight concepts of Bowen Theory and was explaining them one by one. I haven’t been posting about Bowen Theory lately. I figured we all… Continue Reading→

Where Is God in Conflict?

May 26, 2020

When we are in the midst of conflict, we may struggle to feel the presence of God. Marisa Sifontes, a student at Candler School of Theology at Emory University, recently reflected on the presence of God in conflict. Marisa’s reflection was her video final exam for a directed study with Dr. Ellen Ott Marshall, Associate… Continue Reading→
