More workshops and more networking and of course more worship.
The day started for me with a workshop called, "Holiness in the 21st Century," with Dr. Carl Leth of Olivet Nazarene University. A few highlights:
- In recent years, unfortunately, the doctrine of holiness has more often been a place of controversy and struggle rather than proclamation and blessing.
- The process and crisis debate has immobilized us unreasonably. Process people believe in crisis, and crisis people believe in process. A difference in emphasis shouldn't either freeze us or turn us against each other.
- We need to recapture the scope of holiness as involving the whole mission of God, redeeming and reordering our broken world.
- Holiness is good news. God can break in, ANYWHERE ANYTIME TO DO ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY.
