Looking ahead at the church

Dwight Stinnet is the Executive Minister of the American Baptist Churches of the Great Rivers Region which includes Illinois and part of Missouri.  Dwight writes his Current Thoughts for the churches of his region, and I thought his most recent one was a very realistic and challenging look at the state of the church.  I believe what he said about the size churches many of us serve was especially important and wanted to share them with you.  You can read his thoughts at http://www.abcgrr.org/currentthoughts/31Oct2010.html.
