Christianity today does an article on church planting and evangelism. “Church planting actually involves quite different strategies for evangelism: immigrant, missional, and attractional, for a start.”

Sally Morganthaler, author of Worship Evangelism, has changed her mind about the connection between worship and Evangelism.

This is a major shift in her thinking that has led her to a deep personal cost: dismantling her teaching ministry and website. I had high regards for her book, but also agree with her evaluation as to what has become of “worship driven” churches.

She writes: “For all the money, time, and effort we’ve spent on cultural relevance—and that includes culturally relevant worship—it seems we came through the last 15 years with a significant net loss in churchgoers, proliferation of megachurches and all.”

Have a great weekend.
