Endorsed!

I posted Aug. 28th that I was heading for Nashville to interview for Ecclesiastical Endorsement.  I was interviewed by a team of three peers – other clergy who, like myself, serve outside the local church setting.  All three are also chaplains in a variety of settings.

I joined twitter a couple of months ago. For those of you who aren’t hip on this, twitter is a micro-blogging platform. “Tweets” are limited to 140 characters. You choose to follow people, other people choose to follow you. When you tweet, everyone who follows you receives the message.
I got this idea [...]
