Published is Pastorly’s home for writing about the church, ministry and Christian life. With Scripture as our foundation, we explore questions of faith and the ideas, events and technologies shaping the world around us.
It is written for pastors and the people who serve alongside them. Some pieces help with the work of a week: a sermon due Sunday, a lesson to prepare, a question about a passage. Others take up a question worth more than a week. AI is a particular interest, because of what it is already changing about both.
