Fix it anyway…”

So was the advice of Calvin Miller when he came to Perth many years ago to teach a preaching class.

It stuck with me. What he was encouraging people to do was to keep change a part of life and the culture of the church community, that way there wouldn’t be battles every time something actually needed serious adjustment.

Change for change’s sake?…

I don’t think so – more ‘change for health’s sake’. If we are adaptable and flexible then we can morph and change as we need to, when we need to. But if we start to ossify then change becomes difficult and often involves conflict.

So in reality the chances of health in any community is more likely if people are free to embrace change.

That said, I haven’t changed this blog’s appearance in a very long time. Partly because its the look and feel that I like, but it is probably overdue for a good overhaul and freshen up.

So expect some changes around here…
