A continuing challenge for me is communication. Just try to communicate with a 17 year old and a 1½ year old in the same conversation...or with a church full of people of all ages, outlooks, and temperaments! It is an art, the act of communicating. A major part of our communicating involves translation. Bishop Robert Schnase of Missouri (author of “Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations”) has written an article that helps us understand that we translate our faith to others too. While much longer than my blogs, is worthy of your time, so instead of reprinting it, you can read it at http://www.umportal.org/article.asp?id=5220.
