Deep Thoughts

Last updated on: October 14, 2015 at 8:56 pm By Amy Butler

Thanks to Life Long Learner for these thoughts to ponder . . .• Change is inevitable• If people want to go to church…they will. • There are churches for church minded insiders to go to. • There are churches that think about and adjust their practices to reach out to the outsiders. (I want to be a part of this church)• Since the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results, would it not... Read more

N is for Nosebleed

Last updated on: October 14, 2015 at 8:56 pm By Amy Butler

I’ve heard that one thing that keeps you young is if you are always learning. Well go ahead and take a few months off my ticking clock because I learned something very important this week: when you get tickets to a sporting event in a three-tiered stadium and your section number starts with “3”, you should expect quite a climb to your seat.Tuesday found us climbing the stairs at the beautiful Arthur Ashe stadium near Flushing Meadows, New York for...

Theology on Broadway

Last updated on: October 14, 2015 at 8:56 pm By Amy Butler

Yesterday began a week of vacation in Manhattan. Vacation or no, I swear I can never seem to escape the invitation to reflect on the ongoing adventure of relationship with God. Some of those thoughts are posted here, since Tuesdays I chime in over at the Mainstream Baptists Blog Site.But I think I’ll drop in here to say that all of these thoughts on fear and faith, relationship and inclusion came together again for me last night when we got...

Eau de Jesus

Last updated on: October 14, 2015 at 8:56 pm By Amy Butler

I got an email the other day from a friend of a friend who is now a friend himself. (Isn’t it great how that works?) It’s been exciting to keep up with Tim as he explores the possibility of a vocational call to ministry in the Episcopal priesthood, especially since we Baptists don’t use fancy words like “postulant” (but we do enjoy opportunities to throw them around so we might appear extra spiritual). Tim’s recent email was kind of like... Read more

Personality Bag

Last updated on: October 14, 2015 at 8:56 pm By Amy Butler

The start of school always brings a whole slew of adventures, and not just for the students in our family. The parents always get dragged along for the ride. If you count pre-school, I have been the parent of a school-going child for over ten years, so “what I did on vacation” essays, informational sheets, ridiculous lists of school supplies (where on earth will you store the THREE boxes of Kleenex required of every child??!?), five copies of the same...

One Year Later

Today it has been a whole year since the horror of hurricane Katrina began. I have the highest admiration for my friends in New Orleans who have doggedly determined their city will be, once again, a place of beauty. There’s a long, long way to go.Here’s an article about my dear friend Ann Freedman, one of those heroes.On this first anniversary we are witnesses to all this suffering and hope. And because we are people of faith we declare: “We... Read more

Liturgical Bribery

Last updated on: October 14, 2015 at 8:56 pm By Amy Butler

Over the past two years I’ve been involved with a program called the Lewis Fellows, a program of the Lewis Center for Church Leadership at Wesley Theological Seminary that trains and nurtures young leaders in the church. (I don’t know how much longer I will be considered a “young leader” so I think I should mention this fact a lot until such time . . . .) This program draws a group of young leaders from several Christian denominations from... Read more

Mis Quince Años

Last updated on: October 14, 2015 at 8:56 pm By Amy Butler

Okay, so if you are a pastor in Texas perhaps this is commonplace to you. For me it was something totally new. Perhaps I missed the day in seminary when we covered the Quinceñera service? It was quite an honor for me to be invited to help our Associate Pastor, Edgar Palacios, preside over the Quinceñera (fifteenth birthday, for those of you who have forgotten your High School Spanish) of Susana Reyes, daughter of one of the families in our...
