Online Community Engagement – What’s the Secret?
One question I keep hearing is “How do we keep people engaged online?” The assumption here is that because we’re all stuck at home—and we’re watching online—we’re more easily distracted. While there is some truth to this, I want to start by asking this question: how do you normally keep people engaged?
Singing in Places of Worship Is Now Allowed in Wales, with Precautions
Congregational singing and chanting are now allowed indoors in places of worship in Wales, after updated guidelines were issued by the Welsh Government on Monday. The guidance on the government website continues to lay heavy emphasis on the “significant risks” associated with playing wind instruments, and with singing or chanting at louder volumes, and emphasises that “extreme caution” should be exercised throughout.
Research Shows Humans Could Live Up to 150 Years. Now What?
With so many potential years before us, how are we to think of our lives? Some of us at 40 are already trying to plan for retirement at 65. If we stay on this earth twice as many years after that, however, gardening and golfing may not suffice to bring meaning to our lives. And without meaning and purpose, life can be rather dismal, boring, and unfulfilling.

One of the problems with "evangelicalism" is that it cannot be defined. Some evangelicals stole the original meaning of the word and broadened it's use so widely that it now encompasses contradictory elements, allowing its use by anyone for any purpose, good or ill. It became a catch-all label for those Christians who wanted an alternate identity from their historic denominational roots. It became self-defining, ecumenical, doctrine-less, and ultimately meaningless. It was especially handy for the new Charismatics - who like Quakers uncomfortable with their nickname - eagerly embraced the evangelical identity so as to become synonymous with it.
With the advent of evangelical Catholics, Pentecostals, Mormons, Calvinists, - and even a few Episcopalians - all in the same lump - the term has become epistomologically and theologically obtuse.
