re Don’t Look Away: Why Ahmaud Arbery’s Tragedy Must Be Addressed Head On By feeds.christianitytoday.com Published On :: Thu, 07 May 2020 11:00:00 PDT The unfortunate truth is that even in our ability to retreat into ignorance, we betray the disparity in our experiences and the systemic injustice in our culture. For many in America, responding to the seemingly-endless shootings of African Americans has become a horrific form of muscle memory. After yet another tragedy like the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery occurs, we see similar patterns: an initial burst of reporting, followed quickly by social media commentary, followed by think-pieces across various platforms, followed by social media commentary on the think-pieces. Within a week, however, the entire matter is tied up nicely and everyone is able to move on. Most of us forget as we return to being engrossed in our lives, only to be thrust back into this cycle when another new shooting is jarring enough to penetrate the blaring noise of our daily news-cycle. The fact that Arbery was killed in February and many didn’t know until May speaks to our dependence upon images to incite response—a dependency that, as many have pointed out, dehumanizes victims and establishes a bar of proof we don’t demand of others. Moreover, the fact that only images push us to take seriously these stories underlines the frenetic nature of our media landscape. So few stories not drenched in the political and culture wars theming our day are able to rise above the chaos to capture our attention. That many are feeling oversaturated and digitally burned out during our current crisis has only exacerbated this problem of ignorance. The unfortunate truth is that even in our ability to retreat into ignorance, we betray the disparity in our experiences and the systemic injustice in our culture. While this story (despite being so relevant and discussed currently) will fade for most of us, for others this story is their experience. They carry it with them when they wonder if it is safe to go for runs in ...Continue reading... Full Article
re In Inner-City Black Churches: More Grief, Fewer Resources, Stronger Faith By feeds.christianitytoday.com Published On :: Fri, 08 May 2020 09:04:00 PDT How the pandemic concentrated pressures on small churches—and how the body of Christ is stepping up to help, one $3,000 grant at a time. Philadelphia pastor Kevin Cropper’s heart sank last month when he saw a message asking for food among the prayer requests emailed to his church. “It was a request for something tangible, and we didn’t have it,” Cropper said. His congregation, Ark of Safety Christian Church, had canceled its weekly food distribution since it ran out of donations when it stopped gathering in March. “It makes you feel bad because isn’t that what our mission is? We want to be able to help in this type of crisis, but we need the resources to do it.” That’s the problem with being a small, inner-city black church during a pandemic. Black adults are more than twice as likely as whites or Hispanic Americans to know someone who has been hospitalized or died due to COVID-19. Their communities are afraid, grieving, and suffering from the virus themselves; and they are far less likely to have the staff, budgets, or space to help as much as they feel called. “We are in the city. We don’t have acres, we stay close to each other, and it’s very easy to spread the virus,” said Kato Hart Jr., pastor of Hold the Light Ministries, a Church of God in Christ (COGIC) congregation in Detroit. American counties with a higher-than-average proportion of black residents now account for half of coronavirus cases and 60 percent of deaths. Even in a church of 50, word keeps spreading of which members have lost relatives to the virus: aunties, uncles, grandparents. Hart has lost fellow brothers in ministry, citing a letter from denominational leadership saying 30 COGIC bishops have fallen to COVID-19—including a dozen in Michigan alone. “We’re in a fight, and we need help. These megachurches, ...Continue reading... Full Article
re Died: Darrin Patrick, Who Used His Fall and Restoration to Help Struggling Pastors By feeds.christianitytoday.com Published On :: Fri, 08 May 2020 12:52:00 PDT (UPDATED) The St. Louis pastor spoke up about the difficulties faced by leaders and critiqued “celebrity culture” in ministry. Darrin Patrick, a megachurch pastor, author, and speaker, has died. Patrick was a teaching pastor at Seacoast Church, a multi-site megachurch based in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and the founding pastor of the Journey Church in St. Louis, where he lived. In a Friday evening update, Seacoast Church stated: “Darrin was target shooting with a friend at the time of his death. An official cause of death has not been released but it appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound. No foul play is suspected.” Patrick’s unexpected death came as a shock to friends and colleagues. Robby Gallaty, pastor of Long Hollow Baptist, in Hendersonville, Tennessee, said that Patrick was scheduled to speak at his church next weekend. “I just talked to him Tuesday and Wednesday,” said Gallaty. “This is the second close friend I have lost in a year.” Gallaty first met Patrick in 2015 and had invited him to speak the following year at a men’s ministry event at Long Hollow. Just before the event, he said, Patrick called and said he was leaving the ministry. At the time, Patrick had been a rising star among Reformed evangelical circles and was serving as vice-president of the Acts 29 church planting network. He was fired from Journey for what church elders called misconduct including “inappropriate meetings, conversations, and phone calls with two women” and an abuse of power. Despite Patrick’s fall from ministry, the two stayed friends. Patrick admitted his faults and got counseling. He went through a restoration process that lasted 26 months, according to a 2019 blog interview posted at Christianity Today. He returned to the ministry as a preacher but not as a senior pastor of a church. ...Continue reading... Full Article

Full Article re Archived Webinar - Top HR Trends for 2012 By www.cch.ca Published On :: Mon, 16 Apr 2012 10:25:37 GMT For many people, trends are either for (1) the bean counters upstairs to find more reasons to slash our budgets or (2) the organizational leadership to find more reasons for us to do more with less. These perceptions could not be further from the truth. While the improper use of trends lends itself to the boring staff meeting and Death by PowerPoint full of meaningless statistics; trends in all actuality provide a window into the organizational external environment and provides a roadmap to the direction the organization should be headed. This direction could be to capitalize on organizational strengths, take advantage of short lived market opportunities, avoid situations that emphasize organizational weaknesses or to prepare for a potential crisis either financial or operationally. While the effective presentation of trends can provide critical environmental intelligence to the senior leadership; it is the integration of that intelligence into human resource (HR) plans, aligning the revised strategic and operational plans to the business model and aggressively implementing those plans that will provide organizations the critical edge over their competition. What are trends? How important are they? Why should we use them? How do I integrate trends into my HR plan? How do I align the changed plan into my firm’s business model/ What are the leading HR trends for 2012? How do I recognize and measure success if I use the trends in my planning efforts? While these questions may seem daunting, today’s HR professionals must have a clear understanding of how to effectively use HR trends as a critical management tool to update and improve their HR plan so that it effectively meets organizational needs based on the business model and implement an HR plan that effectively addresses the challenges and opportunities presenting by the HR trends in 2012 and provide an organization the flexibility, agility and nimbleness to retain its completive edge Learning Objectives: • Understand what trends are, their importance, their value as intelligence and as environmental tools • Understand the principles behind using HR trends as environmental intelligence and management tools. • How to develop and integrate metrics into the trend analysis and plan development process.
