We’ve been fortunate to have had three wonderful leaders of transformation in the mainline Protestant church share their insights with us over the past year. Tony Robinson, the author of “Transforming Congregational Culture,” was our guest preacher last spring. His book was a key resource for the Vision Force Team in the early stages of pulling together the visioning process we are all presently engaged in.
Then last November, Mary Luti, Visiting Professor of Worship and Preaching at Andover Newton, shared with us the transformative experience of First Church in Cambridge when she was their pastor in 2002/03. Most recently, Jeff Jones, author of “Traveling Together” and pastor of Plymouth Baptist Church, spoke with us about the lessons he has learned helping churches work through with the American Baptist Convention.
