** Resources for the church
------------------------------------------------------------
I write you this email from an Airbnb in Minneapolis. I’m here with my colleague Trice to represent the Century at this year’s Festival of Homiletics. We are meeting interesting pastors from all over the country (if you’re here at the conference, please say hi at our table!). We aren’t the only ones here with a connection to the magazine: the event will feature sermons or lectures from editor/publisher Peter Marty ([link removed]) , contributing editors Otis Moss III ([link removed]) and Will Willimon ([link removed]) , and frequent CC writers Mihee Kim-Kort ([link removed]) and MaryAnn McKibben Dana ([link removed]) .
The vendor hall where Trice and I are stationed is also home to booths for seminaries, authors, publishing companies, and more—all focused on equipping, educating, and caring for church leaders. It feels like a nice place for us to be this week, especially in light of our recent content’s similar focus. Two “take and read” pieces introduce readers to the best new books in (respectively) ethics ([link removed]) and theology ([link removed]) . Julian DeShazier questions the push for pastors with PhDs ([link removed]) . Oluwatomisin Oredein describes the profound legacy of Ghanaian theologian Mercy Amba Oduyoye ([link removed]) .
Speaking of CC editor/publisher Peter Marty, he’s the guest in our video of the week ([link removed]) ! I chat with Peter about his role on our team, the function of our magazine in the world, and a recent article about emotions.

** The well-credentialed pastor ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
“We spend a lot of our time skating to current trends, only to find that the puck has already slid somewhere else. We spend way too much time looking backward, playing catch-up, instead of preparing for what lies ahead.”
by Julian DeShazier

** Mercy Amba Oduyoye and her Circle ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
“Oduyoye, who will turn 90 later this year, has contributed to Christian theology in African and global contexts for over six decades. She has created a movement of African women’s theological vocality that is critical to the continual growth of the Christian theological canon.”
by Oluwatomisin Oredein
