~ "Revitalizing the Church? I don' think so!" says Bob Roberts. My take is that a local church can be revitalized IF it has a strong spiritual backbone that drives it to mission, if it is ready and willing to make changes to move forward, if it exists in an environment where vital change is possible, and if it refuses to believe prophets of doom -- professional or otherwise. So far, I don't think that these things can be programed or packaged. So far, I think that there are only a few aging churches with these characteristics.
