密苏里「Resound之夜」聚逾百名牧者:Resound网络提出三条健康教会路径

密苏里浸信会联会(Missouri Baptist Convention)官方报《The Pathway》11月4日报道,逾百名牧者10月26日晚在密苏里州St. Charles市参加「Resound之夜」(Resound Late Night)聚会,与该联会年会同期举行。
聚会由Resound网络(Resound Network)主持。这个由密苏里浸信会联会支持的网络,工作重点是帮助处境困难的教会恢复健康、重新出发。
当晚提出了三条走向健康教会的路径:第一,帮助其他教会,即由较健康的教会伸手扶持较弱的教会;第二,植堂,建立新教会;第三,宣教,参与本地与远方的宣教工作。主办方表示,三条路径并非互斥,教会可按自身处境组合推进。
与会牧者在聚会中交流各自教会的处境与做法。联会表示,这类牧者同工聚会意在让单打独斗的小教会牧者彼此连接,获得资源与同伴支持。

Missouri's Resound Late Night Draws 100-Plus Pastors: The Resound Network Lays Out Three Paths Toward Healthier Churches
More than 100 pastors gathered in St. Charles, Missouri, on the evening of October 26 for Resound Late Night, held alongside the Missouri Baptist Convention's annual meeting, the convention's news journal The Pathway reported on November 4.
The evening was hosted by the Resound Network, a network supported by the Missouri Baptist Convention that focuses on helping struggling churches return to health and relaunch.
Three paths toward healthier churches were presented: helping other churches, with stronger churches coming alongside weaker ones; church planting; and missions, at home and abroad. Organizers said the three paths are not mutually exclusive and churches can combine them according to their situation.
Pastors at the gathering compared notes on their churches' circumstances and practices. The convention said such gatherings are meant to connect pastors, especially those serving small churches on their own, with resources and peer support.
