“Everywhere you turn, hierarchies are being challenged from below or transforming themselves from top-down structures into more horizontal and collaborative ones†(Thomas L. Friedman, The World is Flat. A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century, p. 44).

I’m confident there is a new way of being human, a new way of being a pastor, and a new way of being a church. There is something completely new and uncreated, completely unforeseen, completely fresh. But I’m also convinced that we must posture ourselves to receive it. Are we ready, able, and willing?
