The greatest gift of taking the certificate training in Interim Ministry is the knowledge that all ministry is interim. Even though I have spent most of my time in settled congregations, the only one I intended to leave soon lasted 12 years!

During these settled times God sent me off to a variety of very interim tasks. Descriptions of those interim interims are under the yellow tabs above.

Interim Ministry is very intentional. In one place they asked me to be a champion for children. How else but to be Father Pooh?
