Balaam's Courier is mostly commonly associated with Ted Braun, now a retired United Church of Christ pastor. Ted, Dave and Ros Ostendorf published the very first issues of B.C. Its multiple blue pages have been written and distributed at each General Synod of the United Church of Christ for more than 25 years. Balaam's Courier has no official standing or support within the United Church of Christ. Because of that, it is possible for Balaam's to freely interject political opinions, critiques, and challenges for our denomation in these difficult times of global injustice. Today is a new day for B.C.. We are now launching an online version of this newsletter. Even though we are website neophytes, we hope that this will be a useful and great beginning to ongoing dialogue. Visit us often, contact us with suggestions, and feel free to share articles that appear here.
