What Churches Can Learn from the Harvard Business School: It’s Not What You Think...

I hear you, Joan. As a layperson, I realize I don't know everything there is to know about this issue. However, from where I'm sitting, the Methodist church (which I love, don't get me wrong) seems h…

Do Christians need saving?

In my experience, many Christians seem to hold themselves separate from the world. This leads to the perception that Christians are sort of elitist. Even I, a regular churchgoer, feel uncomfortable i…

Help! The Methodist church I attend is declining. Any way to save it?

Thank you! Only good part about this so far is that it has provided the impetus for me to meet nice folks like you! This site is really neat and I can assure you I wouldn't have bothered to discover…

Anna: I became a Christian (evangelical type) at 13 and by 18 had joined the Sierra Club and co-founded an environmental coalition in our community. Soon thereafter I was involved in helping elect conservation-minded candidates. That was a few decad…

Anna, thanks for sharing your heart on this topic. Whenever I read anything on this or any of the other volatile subjects, I have to be somewhat suspect of both sides - as each has a political agenda attached to their view. Back to the topic. My wi…

I hear you, Joan. As a layperson, I realize I don't know everything there is to know about this issue. However, from where I'm sitting, the Methodist church (which I love, don't get me wrong) seems hampered by bureaucracy. Independent churches seem…

Hal, We live in a much less populated area, so our choices for "church" here are extremely limited. We feel the same as you, "Over the last few years we have struggled with the structure or CEO model of the church. we Don't see it anywhere in scrip…

We haven't landed anywhere yet. There is a church in the metro area that seems to be one of the better expressions of the body of Christ that we've found. But they're 20 miles away. however, they are putting in another site in our area sometime in 2…

Anna, I feel your frustration! The safest, most right thing to do is to keep asking and begging God for peace and direction. You guys are in a very difficult situation. Many people, including me, who are on the outside looking in, have their opinio…
