[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] Hmm, the Methodists weigh in, sounds like the "council of a lifetime"

[R Williams]

In the midst of the turmoil the church is going through this is one of the most hopeful pieces I've seen.  The primary question for me is, can a church that has been so embedded in institutional structures for so long realistically be expected to reverse course and again become a movemental presence?
