I'm looking forward to some vacation time. At the end of this week, I'll go away and get some time to clear my head. I want to spend some time just listening to God and His ideas for me in ministry. I don't want to superimpose my thoughts and understanding, or even my interpretation of where God has already led me. I just want to listen, write, and let it sink in. Granted, I'd love to come back with a crystal clear view of where God wants me to be, and how I'm supposed to get there. I know better than that, though.
If I am to begin a postmodern church within the environment of a modern one, what are the structural boundaries that need to be set? Do any need to be set? How can I develop and implement new values and directions without direspecting and disengaging from the current ones? How can I act in love toward the guardians of the past and the shapers of the future?
