A few interesting links that popped up on my radar this week:

• Eleven ways to be with those who grieve, from the cool but alarmingly-named nakedpastor blog. (Hat tip: Rebecca Writes.)


• Ben Witherington writes about the coming of the Pentecostals. He talks about the surprisingly diverse Pentecostal movement, and the important questions about the Holy Spirit that it raises for Christians of other theological strains.


• Jim Dalhman notes recent demographic data that suggests that “non-traditional families” are now in the majority, and ponders what this might mean for church congregations and ministry.


• “RSS will go mainstream on Jan. 30, 2007”—read why this is the case, and how you can put RSS to work for you.
