Many of my LGBTQ friends and clergy sisters have disavowed Peterson’s writings. Not I.

I’d tell him a secret I learned from Eugene Peterson.

Peterson has influenced my pastoral life and mind more profoundly than anyone else.

Peterson never delivered a formula for success. He just wrote about pastoral work and how to live it.

Gene was deeply rooted in scripture and in a Christ-centered spirituality.

“I’ve loved being a pastor, almost every minute of it,” Peterson once told the Century.

David Keck offers a refreshing addition to the conversation about vocational expectations. Eugene Peterson’s vision of holiness resonates with Keck, but Keck takes a different tack.

To Eugene Peterson, a church is not a demarcated zone of idealized community. The potential for misdirection and distraction abounds.
