GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (6/29/09) -- With a spirit of thankfulness and appreciation tempered by disappointment, on Saturday evening a humble John H. Thomas received the tributes of a grateful General Synod for his ten years of service as the sixth general minister and president of the United Church of Christ.

The July lectionary lessons are linked to the Disciples of Christ General Assembly, which takes place late in the month in Indianapolis: its public witness activities, its sizing up the structure of ministry, the questions related to divisions over theological approach, and the particular significance of table fellowship.

It can be hard to “walk in the ways of Christ” today. I know. It’s not easy to live a Christian lifestyle when everyone around you seems to have given up on the 10 Commandments. Walking down the hallway at school, being bombarded by obscenities, did not make me want to stand up and share the word of Christ. It made me want to cover my cross necklace, duck my head, and scurry by. I wanted to be a “Sunday Christian” rather than an “everyday Christian.”
