Vocation faculty member Brad Agry offers a series of blogs this week. Today he launches Handling Job Isolation in which he wonders to whom pastors turn for support in the midst of offering support to others? It's not an easy question. What is your experience? See the CREDO Blog Transforming Work as a place to compare your experiences of this dilemma with others who may deal with isolation in the church workplace. Another related question that arises in ministry--and often at CREDO conferences-- is how to go about identifying what makes us feel most alive in our work. Does a desire to feel more alive always call for Career Change? Are you afraid to plan for retirement because of what that might mean to your sense of vocation? Next week, Brad will weigh whether retirement means more than golf and martinis. You can subscribe to any CREDO Blog and receive them when they are published.
Join the conversations...  This month Faculty Member Sam
Portaro flirts with CREDO heresy. Who would suggest that the iconic cycle of transformation that is well-circulated in the CREDO conference curriculum might be idolatry? See what Sam means at his blog VENI.
Aileen Loranger, health faculty member, notes that on June 16, the Health Promotion and Public Health Council announced the release of its "National Prevention Strategy." It is a comprehensive plan to help Americans stay healthy at every stage of life. In Aileen's blog just released today, she asks "What if we made a commitment to make our churches places that truly promote health and wellness? What would that look like?" What does your church do to build a healthier congregation? Share your thoughts on CREDO Vitality, a CREDO Blog on physical health. Finance faculty member Celeste Ventura turns a phrase with Deeper Simplicity, Broader Generosity. During challenging economic times such as these, "are there stories you can share HERE about people who live lives infused with a deep simplicity and a broad generosity?" ______________________ |
