The party's over, but the gift giving is not
The goal is nearly reached, but contributions are still wanted - and needed - for the legacy gift honoring the ministry of Bishop Ted Gulick in the Diocese of Kentucky.
The bishop, who will
retire in September in the 17th year of his episcopacy, did not want a personal gift to mark his retirement. He requested instead that a "bishop's cabin" be set up at All Saints' Camp and Conference Center for use by the diocese's next bishop and family.
At this point, the people
of the Diocese have generously contributed a little over $42,000 to the purchase of the modular cedar cabin, but $50,000 is needed. Read more

Failure of Nerve - Leadership in the Age of Quick Fix
by Edwin H. Friedman, paperback, 272 pages, c. 2007, $28.
[Church Publishing] Ten years after his death, Edwin Friedman's insights into leadership are more urgently needed than ever. He was the first to tell us that all organizations have personalities, like families, and to apply the insights of family therapy to churches and synagogues, rectors and rabbis, politicians and teachers.
Failure of Nerve is essential reading for all leaders, be they parents or presidents, corporate executives or educators, religious superiors or coaches, healers or generals, managers or clergy. Friedman's insights about our regressed, "seatbelt society," oriented toward safety rather than adventure, help explain the sabotage that leaders
constantly face today. ... His formula for success is more maturity, not more data; stamina, not technique; and personal responsibility, not
empathy. Read more
