As long as we are alert to God's will and the Spirit's promptings, we will continue to find our journey exciting and fruitful.Olive Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01757984452846354285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488485108495618260.post-19172649192554515842008-06-11T01:16:00.000-07:002008-06-11T01:16:00.000-07:00'It is better to work out which is the better way ...<I>'It is better to work out which is the better way to do mission and then to adjust the boundaries if necessary than to create new boundaries and then try to see how we can make them work.'</I><BR/><BR/>Yes, I think that this is absolutely correct.<BR/><BR/>There are 'Super Circuits' being formed around the country on the basis of need rather that on the basis of what works. If the Church is having a hard time getting Superintendents, I can't imagine what person would want to be the Superintendent of a 'Super Circuit', especially given the way charity law is moving.<BR/><BR/>Definitely better to see what works than to be forced into it later.PamBGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324370506889227234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488485108495618260.post-34997619717284295742008-06-11T00:33:00.000-07:002008-06-11T00:33:00.000-07:00That sounds exciting, Olive.

Working across boundaries is always easier when there are already connections made and boundaries being crossed 'unofficially'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
