I spoke today with a man of 76 years who left the church of his early faith because they trained 700 people to be lay ministers but were afraid to let them minister. The staff just could not turn loose. He is now involved in a church that he dislikes its theology but they freely allow lay folk to get involved.Gary Sweetenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11605611324531608167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7550703489701609831.post-26212678663216936072008-01-03T22:42:00.000-05:002008-01-03T22:42:00.000-05:00Hi Gary,WOW! Great stuff! Ron's blog is wonderful....Hi Gary,<BR/>WOW! Great stuff! Ron's blog is wonderful...AND very timely! I believe the whole "church is irrelevant" thing is not only a boomer phenomenon but a postmodern Gen X and Gen Y issue as well. My son (a Gen Xer)finds great spiritual fodder in a magazine called "Relevant". You can read about it online at <BR/><BR/>http://www.relevantmagazine.com<BR/><BR/>Awesome and timely stuff...I really like it, music, writers, etc. There's a great article called, "When Faith Gets Boring." Really good..Relevant is a publisher of some terrific books too, one of which is "Wrestling With God". Great spiritual journey reading.Paula Clarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572562635544226495noreply@blogger.com
