I'm not a pastor and won't be planting a church any time soon but, having tried to work within the churches has been a nightmare for is. I have two angry sons to show for it! First, churches aren't open to remedial work. Second, churches aren't genericly under one umbrella. MANY have left the straight and narrow. Third, I don't really have my own narrow agenda; i'm talkin basic doctrine here. Maybe you're gonna get to this issue later since it's a BIG one? Your ideas are great...welcoming the newbies is huge: I like the idea of a continual beginner's course to help baby Christians. # 15 raises some issues.

I could not agree more about the church plants. Do we think the world doesn't notice that there are dozens of churches within 2 miles, and that none of them work together? They would know we were Christians by our love, if it were visible. On the neighbor subject, I notice that you make it a personal responsibility. Teaming up sure helps. Good stuff, Dan.

I am looking forward to the remainder! I have only one complaint...you want me to change the way I do church? You've got to be kidding me...I'm a Baptist. And as you know, we can trace our heritage all the way back to John The Baptist! But, then again, as Baptists I guess we don't believe in tradition. And change? Definitely not! Dan,
