Congregational Letters from Rich Nathan
Still today five years after having left Vineyard Columbus I am still fond of Rich Nathan's uncanny congregational letters. His ability to put upside down longstanding "Christianese" assumptions, attitudes and behaviors into opportunities for the church to meet today's culture challenges is remarkable. Below are my favorite ones:
