The longtime senior pastor of C.N. \uc820\ud0a8\uc2a4 \uae30\ub150 \uc7a5\ub85c\uad50\ud68c<\/a> in Charlotte, North Carolina, and a former pastor there who\u2019s now a designated pastor in West Philadelphia were reunited Wednesday during a Facebook Live half-hour event called \u201cMentoring in Ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rev. Dr. Jerry Cannon, CN Jenkins pastor for 28 years and the brother of the late Rev. Dr. Katie Cannon<\/a>\ubc0f Rev. Eustacia Marshall<\/a>, designated pastor of the West Philadelphia Partnership and the daughter of the Rev. Dr. Diane Moffett, the president and executive director of the \uc7a5\ub85c\uad50 \uc120\uad50\uad6d<\/a>, swapped stories and insights Wednesday. They were the guests of the Rev. Dr. Lee Hinson-Hasty, senior director for Theological Funds Development for the Committee on Theological Education and the \uc7a5\ub85c\uad50 \uc7ac\ub2e8<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a challenging season,\u201d Marshall said, what with a pandemic that is not only biological, \u201cbut the uncovered history of white supremacy in our country. It\u2019s been challenging to do ministry, be a mama and be a wife. I will say it is truly my sense of God\u2019s presence and mercy that\u2019s been very important to me at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cannon dialed up a football metaphor: \u201cI think part of where we are now is calling audibles and moving with the flow,\u201d he said. \u201cThe pandemic has taught me those things we were doing before, they aren\u2019t that important. Nobody is looking to see if the organ was played or the bulletin was proofread. The difference is the church has become alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marshall said she considers pastoral ministry to be mentoring. \u201cJesus walked with 12 disciples and mentored them,\u201d she said. In Mark\u2019s gospel, \u201cJesus sees them and calls them to follow him. What do we see? Where do we see God working in the lives of people, and how can we join? Those are questions I wrestle with in ministry.\u201d During West Philadelphia Partnership session meetings, ruling elders answer out loud a series of questions, including, \u201cWhere do you see God working in your life? In our life together? How is God calling us to follow?\u201d<\/p>\n

Those questions were \u201cformed in me at CN Jenkins, watching Rev. Dr. Jerry Cannon helping to draw awareness to the fact that God is always at work, even when it\u2019s hard for us to see,\u201d Marshall said. \u201cWe need to think with a new kind of imagination. So many voices have a claim on us. How can we draw our ears to hear and our eyes to see what God is doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw in (Marshall) a gift from God,\u201d Cannon said of his former colleague. \u201cI saw in Pastor Marshall a student of ministry ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cannon also offered this mentoring tip: when you\u2019re scanning the congregation for potential leadership, don\u2019t forget students in middle school and older.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t overlook the junior high schoolers in the pews right now,\u201d he said. \u201cYou don\u2019t know where they\u2019ll be in 15 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

For her part, Marshall called Cannon, \u201cone of many who have been so formational in my life.\u201d She said she\u2019s currently working on studying the Exodus 3 text where God tells Moses that he\u2019s standing on holy ground. In the text, God calls Moses by name twice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m fascinated by what God sees in Moses,\u201d she said. \u201cGod says, \u2018where you are is holy ground.\u2019 You can see the holy in someone who is human and has frailties. I can say that being at CN Jenkins, I had the blessing and the grace of having people see something in me, and I have tried to pay it forward. The way God uses people has always been incredible to me.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
