I'm back from the annual gathering of the Associated Church Press. The week included the ACP's annual awards banquet, at which the Century was honored in eight categories. In three, we received the Award of Excellence, the top honor:
Professional resource. Amy Frykholm, for "Fit for Ministry." The judge praised the article's topic for its relevance "to clergy who may deem their work more important than their health."
Theological or scholarly article. Jonathan Tran, for "The New Black Theology." From the judge: "An excellent review of the rootedness of the new black theology in the thought of the early church."
