I was excited to see the latest copy of Communion arrive in my mailbox. In particular, I wanted to read the second installment of Jeannette Flynn's discussion on "How do you change a culture?". Upon closer examination, however, my enthusiasm turned to disappointment. (My previous postings related to this discussion can be found here: "Change of Culture", and "Our Culture (version 1.0)"
Don't get me wrong. I respect Jeannette, she has profound things to say, and I believe that this is a valuable discussion. But, the process is driving me crazy.
First, this discussion is taking an extremely long time. One article every two months is hardly sufficient. Healthy discussion cannot be protracted like this.
Yes, Jeannette has started a blog (http://transformationalchange.chog.org), which could provide some valuable interchange. But, even here is only one post going back to December. I hope she contributes on a regular basis. (By the way, this marks the first RSS feed on the Church of God Ministries website - a welcome advancement. But, there's still some bugs to work out, as the feed doesn't appear to be working properly).
I affirm Flynn's assertion that "the issues are critical and the time is paramount". Let's get the discussion going and work for transformational change!

the site feed worked ok for me.
I think your right Lloyd. We're doing a snail's with the information hiway at our finger tips. I hope that some of this dialogue will show that it's pretty frustrating for us at times. If we can't even get things going to discuss online, what does that mean for real action? It's nice to talk things out. But if we just talk, it's not out is it? these discussions have helped me, and I live and do ministry differant than I did a year ago. I know these conversations could have the same affect on others, if we only have them.
But who know's maybe there are some behind the sceens things, or life issues that jeanette is having to hinder this newness. I know. But I'd sure like to get this going.
