Pomomusings
Adam started Pomomusings as a place to be able to reflect on ministry, theology and life; it has been just that place for him and he hopes for some others along the way as well. Adam likes to rock the boat a bit, and this blog has served as a space where he can think about some of the more controversial issues in culture and church life. As Adam thinks about the direction Pomomusings is taking, he will be writing a lot about technology, theology, LGBT issues in the church and youth ministry:
- Technology: In addition to being pretty connected to Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Vimeo, & LinkedIn, Adam does Social Media Consulting with Cleave Design and is a pretty big fan of any and all Apple products. Also, if you need a speaker on Web 2.0, especially its role in the church today, he would be interested.
- Theology & Church: Whether you want to call it the postmodern church, emerging church, Emergent church…whatever…those are conversations Adam enjoys having and helping other people think about. He is one of the founders of Presbymergent, a group of Presbyterians who are trying to think creatively and outside-the-box when it comes to doing ministry in a Presbyterian context in the 21st century.
- LGBT Issues in the Church: For a variety of reasons, this is an issue that Adam finds himself continually to be pretty involved in. Adam is open and supportive of LGBT people in the church and hopes the church will one day be open to LGBT persons serving in all areas of the church, including ordained ministry.
- Youth Ministry: Adam has a heart for youth, and in his current context as Minister for Youth & Young Adults, gets a lot of time to think about youth ministry and the ways in which we are working with young people today.
