THOUGHTS from the
“TRAILER”
Adjusting to a Time Change: From Christendom to Apostolic
For a number of years now, there has been a lot of talk in the Church about the need to move from maintenance to mission. A number of archdioceses and dioceses have embarked on efforts with similar but related names. “Retooling for Mission,” “Realigning Resources for Mission,” “Moving to Mission,” and “Unleash the Gospel” are but a few of the names of these efforts.

Several years ago, when four of us on the ACTS XXIX team were serving together in parish ministry, we embarked on a rather large expansion of our campus. After literally years of trying to discern what we most needed, and how we were going to fund it, the day came when we finally broke ground. The excitement in the parish family was palpable, as we knew this expansion was going to greatly help us accomplish our vision of offering every person in our community a life-changing encounter with Jesus.
