At the start of many years, as a kind of house keeping, I make two blog posts. I compile a list of the most read blog posts of the last year and I share the list of books that I read in the previous year. The chaos of recent events and the demands of my schedule during this time of pandemic have put me a little behind with both of these posts. So, today, I am sharing the most read blog posts and next week I will share my book list for 2020.

It is notable that only two of my widely read blog pots for 2020 were sermons and that only three of the most popular ones of all time are sermons. I have noticed that the things that tend to do best are announcements about my professional life that are of broad interest and reflections on congregational life.
