Rev. Dr. Cindi
Love
Our
Conference theme, "Building on Hope, Creating Our
Future," expresses the unique situation in which
we find ourselves as a movement and ministry.
There are more and more people throughout the
world who lift up MCC as a beacon of
hope. The demands for our support of the most
disenfranchised and oppressed are growing. At the
same time, our local churches are going through
lots of growing pains, and they need many types of
resources and support. We are in a moment of very
real creative tension as we prioritize our work.
Indeed, "we are at the front edges of the greatest
transformation of the church that has occurred for
1600 years. It is by far the greatest change
that the church has ever experienced
in
America; it may eventually
make the Reformation look like a ripple in a
pond." Loren
B. Mead, The Once and Future Church, (The
Alban Institute, 1991), p.68.
