1 The Spirit of Bethlehem Bethlehem United Church of Christ Lax Chapel Rd. Kiel, WI (920) Dear Members and Friends of Bethlehem UCC, As I write to you I am in Evanston for two weeks of intensives as I work towards my Doctor of Ministry. Many of you may wonder, why am I doing this? Trust me, with each paper and assignment I have asked myself the same question. One of the things this degree is supposed to accomplish is honing my ministerial skills. After 28 years in ministry I worry about getting stale and out of touch with current thought. I want to make sure I am leading congregations with integrity and current tools. Also, the Doctor of Ministry is designed for the pastor to be able to devise a project that is useful and helpful to the whole church, meaning not just Bethlehem, but all churches in similar size and makeup. It is also designed to help us formulate questions that are relevant to our congregations and their mission. This week are looking at the question, what does it mean to be the church. I m sure you re all rolling your eyes right now and thinking, really she had to go to Chicago to come up with that?. No, it s not a new question for me or for you, I know, but it is one we need to continually grapple with. There are many expressions of church in our culture and some we recognize while others look very foreign to us. I think we need to talk more seriously and theologically about what it means to be the church. We all know (I hope) that when we talk about the church we are not talking about the building, but rather the faith family that uses the building to gather and worship, among other things. So, what does it mean for us to be the church? Where do we get our understanding about what it means to be the church? What are the key components that we absolutely need for us to call ourselves the church and what do we currently do and value that may not have anything to do with how we live our lives out as a church? These questions aren t as easy as they may seem, but I am hoping they are questions that we are willing to grapple with in our time together so that we can definitively define, in a faithful and theological way, what it means for Bethlehem United Church of Christ to be the church. I hope you will share with me some of your thoughts and also be open to some of mine. I believe Bethlehem has a lot to offer the community of Kiel and the world at large, but I am hopeful that we are able to do that with a clear understanding of why we do what we do and why we are who we are. I m not the kind of leader that will offer you all the answers, but I do covenant with you to seek the questions that can guide us on our journey.
