The Pastor
The Pastor: A Spirituality | Gordon W. Lathrop
2 posts
Renowned liturgical theologian Gordon Lathrop has composed a rich, meditative, and explicitly ecumenical spirituality for working pastors ? whatever and wherever they are called: preachers, priests, elders, ministers, seminarians.In Part One Lathrop urges pastors to become lifelong students of the Lord's Prayer, the Apostle's Creed, and the Commandments, continually inhabiting the questions, reversals and paradoxes of Christian life.In Part Two he elaborates on the pastor's chief activities ? presiding at the holy table, preaching, collecting for the poor ? "as the center and focus for pastoral identity and spirituality." Lathrop invites pastors to recenter their busy lives on God and fuel their ministry through prayer.

My Litsy handle is pretty simple- I am a huge nerd and I am a liberal, mainline ordained Reverend. Not only do I read a ton of books, I play with Legos, am a Star Wars lover, play video games, and did them all before it was a cool thing to do. I was called nerd as an insult, but turned it into an identity and wear it proudly. Been a pastor for 18 years doing regular ministry, college age, and youth ministry. Helped transform my denom. to pro-LGBTQ

NerdyRev This was a year ago. Recently diagnosed with genetic heart disease, so my running has decreased a lot as I wait for my next steps. Good news- more reading time. PS Gordon Lathrop (the author of the selected book) was one of my seminary professors. (edited) 7y
