Stop turning your back

This post is from the defunct blog “Dying Church”

Some good quotes found in the comments at DashHouse.com from my brother Arthur, including this one:

The Church has to face society and not turn its back on it. If you're facing away from someone and you're trying to talk to him, he can't hear you – you're mumbling; you're not interested. What you're saying is, "Come over here. It's better over here," as opposed to saying, "I'm going to come to you – I'm interested in you; how can I serve you?" The days of "tell me" are over. The days of "show me" are in. (Jim Stewert)
