From Paul's "statement on ministry":
Ministry is about creating and nurturing an intergenerational community of
storytellers who are blessings to themselves and to others. . . . With the
exception of fundamentalism in its numerous manifestations, gone for
many are the certainties of the past; . . . . The greatest challenge facing
many local churches is to provide a third option by reviving the narrative of
the radical early church (with) justice, nonviolence, community, and a lively
diversity within unity.
