Beloved Community Conference-Fred Plumer
"Creating Progressive Communities of Faith"
Mainline churces are aging and dying. Trying to help churches enter the 21st century. Wondering if we are rearranging the chairs on the titanic. There is no magic bullet but we are in the midst of a big change. Phyllis Tickle-500 year rummage sale, church in the midst of it right now. All types of church are losing members as a whole, but in evangelical they are moving into megas, so it's not as evident. Charismatic pastors can hold it together only so long.
