What the Catholics did: When they had the opportunity, they elevated, as their new CEO, a reformer.
The truth is that the CGGC has been declining for more than half a century. The rate of that decline is increasing exponentially.
If you have been reading THE CHURCH ADVOCATE and the eNews lately, you may have noticed that it has become the normal thing for Ed and others to end a piece of writing and to solicit financial contributions. I wonder what the mountaintoppers know about cash flow that they aren't saying in so many words.
Yet, it seems to me that, on the mountain top, there is a strong sense of contentment about continuing with the same sort of approach to mountaintopping that has guided our direction since the shepherds took over about 80 years ago.
But, what if the mountaintoppers chose to go in a different direction? What if they empowered someone who would challenge failing values and practices? What if they would acknowledge failure and sin and hand over the reigns?
Is there ANYONE in the CGGC they might choose who could superintend that change?
