Thanks for those thoughts I'm new to the "presbymergent" blog, and I'm excited to go back through and read up! I'm a youth pastor at a PC(USA) in Kansas City, and dealing with a lot of the same questions and struggles as others in this community. Regarding your comments, I think widening "the target" from individuals to communities forces us to reevaluate our standards for "success." For too long the Church has equated "success" with "numbers of people in attendance" and not more practical things like justice, peace, conflict, the decrease of poverty, the increase of JOY. Wow! Thanks for those thoughts
