I want to encourage e you to mak a special effort to attend one of the District Pre-­‐Conference meetings this year. Persons will be present in every district to demonstrate the use of electronic devices voting and review major areas of business. Agenda time is always a at premium during voting years. The district gatherings will give you an opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion about issues of concern in smaller groups where time is more relaxed. Our theme is “Leading for Discipleship,” and our guest speaker for three 1 ½ hour sessions will be Reverend Adam Hamilton, founding pastor of Church the Resurrection in Leawood, Kansas.

You may want to bring a team of laypersons from your church to hear him on Monday afternoon and Tuesday.

  • Bush, Obama and a Faith-Based US Foreign Policy
    Bush, Obama and a faith-based US foreign policy LEE MARSDEN US foreign policy in the first decade of the twenty-first century has been dominated by religion in a way that would not have seemed possible for most of the second half of the twentieth. Al-Qaeda’s attack on the United States in September 2001, the subsequent US invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the upsurge in Islamist militancy and the populist overthrow of despotic US allies in the Middle East all focus atten- tion on the importance of religious actors. For much of this period academic interest has centred on radical Islam and the attempts by western governments, and the United States in particular, to contain Islamism through embarking on the global ‘war on terror’ in its various manifestations, and supporting pro-western despots in the Middle East. While there has also been much interest in the emergence of elements of the Christian right as foreign policy actors,1 until recently insufficient attention has been paid to the increasing role played by religious organizations in the delivery of US foreign policy objectives. American faith-based Inter- national Relations (IR) scholars and political scientists have successfully agitated for an increased religious dimension to foreign policy, in particular in the areas of diplomacy and overseas assistance and development.2 While such an emphasis is designed to further US foreign policy interests, this article argues that such a policy can be counterproductive where these religious actors pursue sectarian rather than secular objectives. Using faith-based initiatives supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) as a case-study, the article highlights the potential dangers of faith-based foreign policy approaches.

Orem Dr. | Houston, Texas 77085 Kirbyjon Caldwell, Eulogist Dr. Michael L. Bowie, Jr., Officiating A TRIBUTE TO MY FATHER Written by Wesley Dotson n behalf of my family, I’d like to thank everyone that is Ohere today and those who have sent their condolences. We have received so many messages of thoughts and prayers, and the outpouring of love for my Dad has been comforting and heartwarming during this difficult time. I am so incredibly proud of my Dad, who was a true servant of God. I’m amazed at the impact his ministry had on so many lives across the world and how he dedicated his life to helping others grow closer to God. Hearing all of your stories about what my Dad meant to you is something I’ll cherish greatly. To my Dad: You meant the world to me and always will. Those annual Thanksgiving trips to watch our Dallas Cowboys helped us bond in so many ways other than just football. It became my favorite tradition. I loved hanging out with you in the “J-Spot” and talking about life. I learned so much from you just from the example you set for Janelle and me. There was nothing like seeing the joy music brought to your life. Over the past few years, I couldn’t pick up the phone and call you without hearing you playing the piano in the background. Guess it’s my turn to finally get back on the keys, too.

  • TEN PARADIGM SHIFTS TOWARD COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION ABOUT the AUTHOR Eric Swanson Works with Leadership Network Concentrating on Externally Focused Churches
    TEN PARADIGM SHIFTS TOWARD COMMUNITY TRANSFORMATION ABOUT THE AUTHOR Eric Swanson works with Leadership Network concentrating on externally focused churches. For the past several months Eric has researched churches around the country that are engaging their communities with good news and good works. Prior to coming to Leadership Network, Eric served with Campus Crusade for Christ for 25 years. He and his family reside in Louisville, Colorado. LEADERSHIP NETWORK For the last 2000 years, the Church in its various forms, styles and manifestations has been the hope of the world. Over the past twenty centuries of human history, when change has been the most intense, the Church has thrived. As we enter the third Millennium, the Church of North America faces the opportunity to once again become a positive force for change. Leadership Network is a nonprofit organization providing Leadership Action Communities for innovative leaders in North American churches. Leadership Network includes a network of large churches, nontraditional churches, missional churches and church leaders. We search for innovative church leaders who find themselves both immersed in and excited by the tumultuous change of this age. These leaders are found in churches of all denominations and sizes across the United States and Canada. They are of all ages and ethnicities. They are Leadership Network. Printed 9/02 A small cloud is on the horizon. The winds of change are beginning to gather strength and with certainty a storm is coming…change is coming. All over our nation there is a quiet movement of the Spirit of God that is causing believers to re- examine how they “do church.” Churches around our nation are throwing out the old measures of success.
