The journal containing my article by this name is now out. Mid America’s inaugural issue of Theology for Ministry came out just before Christmas. I have previously commented on some of my thoughts contained in this article.

This issue is varied in perspectives and strengths, I think. Here is a list of the contents other than my article:
Hershael York– Defending the new IMB policies/guidelines

Gerald Cowen– “Congregationalism and It’s Limits”
An argument for congregationalism and against elder rule. Account is not taken of a role for elders within a congregational setting

John Hammett– “Patterns of Leadership in Emerging Churches”

Earl Waggoner– “A Movement Toward a House Church Ecclesiology”

Jimmy Millikin– “The Nature of the Church- Local or Universal”
An argument against an idea of the universal church

Timothy Seal– “Church Discipline: Recovering the Lost Treasure”

J. D. Payne– “Ecclesiology: The Most Critical Issue in Church Planting Today”

Steve Gaines– “Worthy of Worship”

And an excerpt from E. C. Dargan, “Ecclesiology: A Study of the Churches” (1905)

As far as I can tell there is no information on Mid America’s website about the journal. If you wanted a copy you could contact the editor, Dr. Daryl Cornett.
