Welcome The purpose of this website is to offer the suggestion, the possibility - for both personal reflection and open dialogue - that the mainline Christian Church as we know and understand it to be today, has lived out its life, in many ways like we do - with joys, challenges, regrets, horrible mistakes, and triumphs… but is now heading toward the end of its life cycle.  It may be our greatest gift to the current church expression, not to constantly attempt to rescue it from what seems to its enemies to be an "inevitable demise," but to allow it - even teach it - to die honorably, beautifully, faithfully …with dignity and integrity.     The Church is dying.  We all see it, and we all are experiencing it.  Many are working to try to reverse the otherwise inevitable trend, while others blame it on the church's sin and waywardness.  While that might be behind some of this phenomenon, it doesn't explain it fully.  And while working against it may be the answer for some congregations, it isn't for most.  Instead of asking, "How can we keep the Church from dying?" - the bigger question we should be proffering is, "SHOULD we keep it from dying?" This website is under construction. We look forward to your return as we add pages Website:  Designs & Images Join the conversation on my blog.
