Will United Church ‘throw in the towel’?

Very interesting article about the Canadian United Church. In an increasingly secular society, where the United Church has become a “government-sponsored social club”, there is some serious talk about just closing shop.
What’s unfortunate is that, aside from the Unitarians, the United Church is pretty much the most liberal and sensible congregation around.
Will United Church ‘throw in the towel’?
Says Reverend Connie denBok:

“We have a huge number of deeply demoralized clergy, congregations dwindling and dying, and either we say, ‘Gosh, we’ve hit a dead end and should consider changing direction,’ or we say, ‘Our direction has been a good and righteous one and we’re not getting anywhere with it and we should shut the whole organization down.”

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
