If we are doing our job well in creating faithful, energetic, serving, praying communities of people committed to the Gospel, the rest of it falls into place pretty naturally -- we reach out in compassion to the world; we raise up children formed in the faith; we bring others to know and love Christ in the Church.<BR/><BR/>Healthy congregations make a healthy, growing church.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for contributing to the blog.<BR/><BR/>LowellLowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076747108959365038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28544998.post-1150387115386508502006-06-15T08:58:00.000-07:002006-06-15T08:58:00.000-07:00I'm one of those liberal revisionist Wackadoos, qu...I'm one of those liberal revisionist Wackadoos, quite happy with the progressive path TEC has been following.

I check it daily, and it helps to hear about issues other than the one grabbing the headlines. <BR/><BR/>Thank you.Lisa Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00881671380217888810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28544998.post-1150382812584309002006-06-15T07:46:00.000-07:002006-06-15T07:46:00.000-07:00Lowell,Thanks for taking the time to write your ob...Lowell,<BR/>Thanks for taking the time to write your observations on Convention. It's really helpful to those of us out here in the boondocks. I feel as if I have a peek tinto the workings of Convention.
