From the Rev. Kevin Clementson |
Social media has forever changed the world and
how we do ministry. This was brought home to me this morning as I sit with my
coffee and bagel in the comfort of my neighborhood Panera. A message bubble
pops up from a member of my congregation in Afghanistan. "Hey Pastor! Keep
me and my buddies in your prayers today. We are about to go out on a
mission." Suddenly what can at times seem so far away was brought to my
table... the easy comfort of my space at the table suddenly feels different as
I prayed for that young man and father of two who along with his buddies drive
off base and into a world of purposeful violence. The world feels very small
and dangerous today.Kevin, MDiv '82, is Co-pastor of Grace Lutheran Church, Westminster, MD
