Last week I blogged a comment "Of course, times are changing. And what worked 20 years ago might not work today. What worked last week might not work today." In typical fashion, I ran across this document by Marion Aldridge, Coordinator for the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of South Carolina. Basically he created a list of over 100 issues, and then tabled how the 20th Century Church would have handled it, and how the 21st Century Church will handle it.
I'm not totally endorsing all 103 items (in college we used to joke that everyone in the state of South Carolina were joined together in a big cult!) You can download the complete list here!
Some of my favorites include: Appearances, Coffee, Congregational Governance, Denomination, Giftedness, Guilt, Heaven, Homosexuality, Information Flow, Labels, Literature, Models for Discipleship, Non-Christian religions, Permission, Place/Location, Science/Faith, Sunday School Lessons, Technology, Verb, Visible Leadership, Wives...
Oh screw it, I love the whole list! I only wish I could take credit for writing it.
This is good I like it...sometimes it's funny, often these thoughts are true.
