Lloyd, thanks for this post. As always, you are thoughtful, and your love for the church speaks loudly. I share your concerns. I am also pessimistic about our movement's future and our long-term survivability. I have some thoughts, but I don't think the forum of a Comments section is adequate. I have some analysis of why we are in our state of decline and seemingly coming apart at the seams. Could I email you some thoughts that would be more than what may be appropriate for a forum of this nature? My email is rspence@me.com. I will also need your contact information. Thanks. Randy Spence
