Well here is our blog site. Before I used "octology" as our site name I checked it out and discovered it has to do with astrology - so I thought that might not be a great name for a group of pastors who are in dialogue about the mission of God. So I called this group "Eight in Dialogue."
I had a real good time with all of you and appreciated the questions and insights that were raised through our dialogues. Hopefully through this site we can keep the dialogue going.
Center Resources
Cinda asked about prioritizing resources available through the Center for Parish Development. Here are my recommendations:
Under Discerning God's Call: The following bible studies are helpful in either developing readiness or in Phase 3 - The Beatitudes, The Biblical Mission of the Church, The Church and the Coming Reign of God. The People Called by God Also, the articles found in Developing the Missional Church and Discerning God's Vision Together.
Under Leading Missional Churches: the article Transforming Leadership - From Competition to Koinonia is helpful.
Under Resources for Missional Transformation, the booklet entitled "Cultivating Missional Communities" is good.
Well that's a start.

About Me
- Roland G. Kuhl
- I am a fellow journeyer who comes alongside others to listen, to engage in conversation, to live life with them, and they with me, so that in some way we might help each other walk more connected with the callings that shape our lives. I do this with neighbors, students, couples, clergy, and anyone God brings me alongside, or them alongside me. If you want to know more standard stuff about me contact me and I can give more "resume-like" details.
