New Challenges for a Church

PROFILE

WHO: Joanne Swenson, age 64

WHAT: Senior minister, Church in the Forest

WHERE: Pebble Beach, Calif.

How did you end up at Church in the Forest? I was working on an independent ministry in Stamford, Conn. Out of the blue, I got a phone call from someone who had been a parishioner of mine when I was a minister in Boston. He said that a church in California had been looking for their next pastor for almost two years, and he felt like I might be the person. I hardly knew one thing about Pebble Beach, but I really missed being at the pulpit. So I began to talk to this church, and it has been just a wonderful place.

Where does the name Church in the Forest come from? We are in a historic forest, called the Del Monte Forest, which is part of Pebble Beach. Church in the Forest is a nondenominational Christian community, honoring the diversity of the Christian tradition, striving to worship and live by its sacred treasures.

My Quest for Higher Yields

MARKET action along with recent readings on employment and inflation imply the onset of a troublesome cycle: shrinking cash yields with negative pressure on returns for long-term high-grade corporate and Treasury bonds. Despite the knee-jerk Treasury-bond rally sparked by the dismal early-September jobs report, I expect interest rates to ascend sharply along the outer years of the yield curve—regardless of the Federal Reserve's imminent campaign to ease short-term rates.
