Free Range Priest

Me, John the Baptist, and the Future of Church

We all want change. But we don’t want to change anything. Maybe all it takes is listening to the raving prophets.

Spiritual healing is our business. What if we took a page from the medical field and specialized?

Seminary in the original meaning – a ‘seedbed’ for ideas.

There are new – more faithful, more joyful – ways to reimagine sustainability.

The role of the parish administrator is changing – but maybe not in the ways we think, and maybe not towards technology.

A small – and growing! – percentage of clergy are now officially ‘free range priests’. New ways of being church are happening.

Being Christian in a world that is a raging dumpster fire mess

Those left in our church pews are the least likely to change.
Maybe we shouldn’t ask them to.

How church can be more like the gym – and engage members in new ways.

People are no longer coming to church like they used to. The future of church is about bringing it to them.
