[...] In short, the work that’s been done is almost entirely organizational and structural, not spiritual. It remains to be seen what long-term spiritual and corporate effects this will have. But the reports on HQ organizational change are mixed. From friends who work there, “It’s more of the same.” But CIO magazine provided a report, which I blogged on, that seemed very optimistic.

Sounds like the Vision for Transformation is on-track at the General Council level, but I hear different things at state levels.

Take South Carolina for example, where the District staff have been promoting the “renewal ministry” of Paul Borden (Building Healthy Churches)a guy who was a regional director of the American Baptist Churches USA. Mr. Borden lead 200 of the churches in his region into dissafiliating from their denomination under the guise of a lax stand on homosexuality.
Paul Borden’s book, Hit the Bullseye and his seminars are being promoted to AG pastors across the state. Paul Borden is also working with 30 churches in New Zealand….who my guess is, will soon dissafiliate with their parent denomination.

South Carolina pastors are being encouraged to put aside many of the provisions of their District Constitution and Bylaws to “facilitate change.” (I’m guessing the sections to be set aside will include Voting Rights, Membership, Finance and Elections.)

I agree we need change. I’m for change, growth and renewal….but I wonder at what price?

Paul,

Yes! I have been to AGHeritage’s website. The A/G archives is doing a really good job of getting A/G and early Pentecostal history digitized and online.

I love those guys in the A/G history department (A/G Heritage). They are never afraid to take an unflinching look at the real men and women who started this movement.

Rich.

Rich,

This is unrelated to your post.

Have you visited http://www.agheritage.org/?

It’s a great place to read about AG History and Pentecostal Evangel magazines since the 1910’s-20’s. I like the Donald Gee and Smith Wigglesworth.
