NEEDED: AN APPROACH TO THE FUTURE

Do the Christian churches as we know them today have a future? The answer is obviously, no! Changes must take place and are taking place. Which way is the wind blowing? And are the churches listening to the wind as it rumbles, whispers, pushes, dances? The wind is nothing less than the spirit of God. It thrusts us into the NOW. It asks us to bear towels, hot water, forceps to the countless chambers where the world is continually being born. And, like the biblical spirit, the beckonings of the wind are set in the context of the events of history. We are challenged to form not only new ministries for a new age, but to begin to forge a new consciousness of the meaning of freedom and responsibility.

"Be alert, stand firm in the faith, be brave, be strong! Let everything that you do be done in love."
1 Corinthians 16:13.
