Good News for the Mainline

All the news we get on Mainline Protestantism is that its a dinosaur waiting for extinction. Every year we read the statistics -- another decrease in membership and more churches closing. But maybe there is more to the story. Maybe there's good news to be had.

I know it looks as if I've been doing nothing but plug Diana Butler Bass, but hey she's been putting out some exciting things that offer hope to those of us in the supposedly sidelined Mainline. Here is an interview with Diana in Newsweek entitled "Thawing the 'Frozen Chosen'." Take a look and see if you don't see some good news on the horizon.

Well, to top it off, I'm heading off to the Regional Assembly of the Pacific Southwest Region of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). I expect to be renewed!
