How to gather the masses

I thought it interesting that when in America a couple of years ago a Church leader was advocating that the church takes to much energy trying to make the church attractive when in fact if there were obstacles for people to get to church it would be in the long term more fruitful.
The age of attractive church might be over. How do we change the culture if we are touching a church centred image when we should be flavouring the world.

Sometime you need to stand on your head to see a different point of view.

New beginnings

I have often seen the "new beginnings" statement in organisations including churches. What does that mean? Is it a call to shake off what has reduced the effectiveness of ministry?

Most in church circles acknowledge that traditionalism is dead and will not survive but how does one keep alive that which should be growing and developing.?

How does the streams of living water continue to flow when there is stagnation and dams blocking the flow.

It takes wise council to move matters forward.
Some times rushing can be counter productive sometimes waiting too long means a lost opportunity.

What are the answer keys to these questions?
