I WISH SOMEONE WOULD DO A STUDY OF THE CONGREGATIONS THAT ARE MOST EFFECTIVE IN SERVING THE KINGDOM AS YOU PROPOSE...WHO ARE THE LEADERS OF THOSE CONGREGATION; IS THERE ANYTHING DISCINCTIVE ABOUT THEIR THEOLOGY AND THE WAY THEY APPROACH MINISTRY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196593.post-20522376053594395442010-05-02T21:52:20.525-05:002010-05-02T21:52:20.525-05:00The reminder that we mirror our federal government...The reminder that we mirror our federal government is important - hasn't the Methodist (and later United Methodist) church been intertwined with the very fabric of government for way too long. <br /><br />Would it even be possible to separate this church from the state? <br /><br />Should we want to - given our focus on both personal piety and social holiness?<br /><br />Is there a better way - absolutely - and I think you mentioned it toward the end - by being in small group relationships - as Christ was with the 12. But are we willing as individualistic Americans to allow ourselves to be held accountable in Christian love? <br /><br />Keep being a prophet - its time for more of us (clergy as well as laity) to stand up and speak truth into those dark rabbit holes!Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196593.post-45197575991082701172010-05-02T11:24:21.466-05:002010-05-02T11:24:21.466-05:00Thank-you, very well stated!
