01 May A Forum for UB Interaction

The new BishopBlog has several purposes:

• A vehicle for me, as bishop, to cast vision.
• An informational Grand Central Station (as already described).
• A forum for interacting over UB-related issues.

We’ve needed a forum.

• The United Brethren magazine was a forum…until we discontinued it in 1993.
• Annual and midyear conferences were a forum…until we discontinued them in 2005.
• The national conference isn’t a good forum. Not with several hundred delegates, and meetings only once every two years.

But good interaction can occur via the Internet. That’s what we want here.

• I want your honest reactions to what I and others write.
• I want to know what’s on your heart.
• I want to know how you perceive things.
• I want to learn from you.
• I want us all to learn from each other.
