Healthy Living

Clergypersons are becoming increasingly aware of the health issues that impede effective ministry and our Conference Board of Ministry is attempting to address this matter in a variety of ways. However, this is a congregational concern, also. We are abusing our bodies by the lifestyle choices we make even though as Christians we know that we are called to a wholistic care of body, mind and soul. John Wesley would say that we need to hold one another accountable in doing this. Bishop Sally Dych of the Minnesta Annual Conference has created a Spiritual Pyramid as a guide to holy choices. It would seem that if we used this guide, healthy eating, environmental and exercise choices might not be so hard to make. Just a thought.
