My daddy was a Morehouse man.
Although he wasn’t perfect, he had a keen intellect and was prolific in his speech and writing. Women loved him and so did my mother who married him after she graduated from Fisk University. Education and performance have always been important to me and my family.
This convocation address by Reverend Dr. Howard-John Wesley was not just for Morehouse graduates years ago. It’s a life lesson now for everyone who is concerned about the unjustified attack in our nation on diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility and belonging.
Diversity is important because it can lead to better outcomes in various aspects of life, fostering creativity, innovation, empathy, and social cohesion. It also helps to create a more just and inclusive society, where everyone - regardless of their individual circumstance (ie, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality and disability) - has an opportunity to succeed.
In order for women, Blacks and others to succeed, it’s important that we have equal rights and opportunities. If you agree - have the courage to stand up and speak out against injustices in any way that you can. Like Rev. Wesley stated “Don’t let the experience of others set limitations on you”. These are challenging times for our nation. We need all hands on deck.⚫️

This is our vision: to obey the Great Commission by undertaking worldwide mission which leads to the starting of many new churches, a process commonly termed ‘church planting’.
But for some of us, this poses the question ‘why?’
In the latest blog post, Jon Beardon lays out some scriptural foundations to help us grapple with this question.

Thom Rainer provides more information from Lifeway Research here: https://lnkd.in/dSJ6ddnw. What is a “normal-size church”?
The ARDA reports in 2020 in the state of Ohio there were 1867 nondenominational congregations. 1,411,863 people claimed to be adherents of these congregations.
Simple division says 756 adherents per congregation. To look at it another way, the adherence rate is 120 per 1000 people. Therefore, in a town of 6000 people there could be 720 non-denominational evangelical protestants.
What this doesn’t mean is that there actually is a congregation of 720 nondenominational evangelical protestants. There could be multiple nondenominational congregations in one town with the population of 6000.
“About 95 percent of churches have fewer than five hundred in attendance. In other words, only about 5 percent of pastors are serving churches of medium to large size. The vast majority of pastors will never serve in a church larger than 150 people. Perhaps this means we are mislabeling - maybe, instead of small-size churches, we should call them normal-size churches.”
