Final post

Those of you who (still) follow this blog will know that in my last post of over three months ago I conveyed my musings considering the future of this particular site. For almost ten years this has been a place for me to express my reflections on what was happening across our movement, but it has become increasingly obvious that the value of this blog, for me and for others, has significantly diminished. No longer is there a need for an unofficial blog addressing Church of God issues. While certainly there are matters concerning our collective experience and organization for which we will need to continue dialogue, this can and should be happening in other formats. If Jesus truly is the Subject, which he is, then these movement discussions need to take place within that larger context.

Effective immediately this blog is officially closed. This is my final post. Soon I will be disabling comments.

For the time being I will keep THE ORIGINAL ChoG Blog online for archival purposes. Those of you who love to nitpick my thoughts will find this a treasure trove for wasting time.

Have I given up?

Absolutely not!

In fact, once I get closer to the completion of my Doctor of Ministry degree I will be launching a brand new blog on another platform. I'm already laying the groundwork for it, and look forward to vigorous engagement on a wide range issues of how we can integrate our holiness-oriented faith into the complexities of the world in which we live. Those of you who know me, or have contact with me through other means, will know how to connect to the new blog once it launches.

Thanks to the hundreds of you who have been part of this conversation! With over 45,000 views of the 306 posts I am impressed to have had my contribution through this particular medium. My input, however, is not over. I look forward to continuing discussion on in the other ways that God provides for me.

For the Kingdom,

Lloyd
