Class Reflection 12

A lot of this discussion for me brings up the necessity of risk. I have found that church leaders are unwilling to try new things - new practices, new ideas, new people - because they are afraid of failure or of people's disapproval. For me, this class has highlighted the value of conversation with other Christians, finding out what the Lord has done in their midst, and the risk taking necessity of trying new ways to create space for people to meet with the Lord. In this particular conversation, we've discussed the stories of several evangelicals, Todd Hunter and others, who have taken the leap from one tradition to another. It seems they have been blessed, and those they lead have been blessed, as a result of it.
