Envisioning the Future!

I would like to whet your appetite for my post now playing over at The Rubicon with the following excerpt from it:

“Yet Harris, a young Southern Baptist pastor, believes Southern Baptists will play a diminished role in gospel work in the next quarter century unless Southern Baptist leaders begin envisioning the future through the eyes of an emerging generation less brand loyal than previous generations.”

“Substitute Salvation Army, Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran or any other mainline denomination into that paragraph and you get the same result.”

Now, you must read it in its entirety before jumping to conclusions. I suspect that TSA primitive purists will have some difficulty with it, but that’s all right. The important thing is to keep the dialogue going in a constructive, searching way, simply because all of us, no matter on what side of the divide we stand, want the best for the future of our beloved Army – envisioning it’s future through the eyes of those who will lead it tomorrow: Forward! (Hopefully)
