I spent just over an hour this week interacting with members of Fuller’s Peace and Justice Advocates group. I didn’t know any of these grad students who represented either SOT or ICS and I’m pretty sure that, until I opened my mouth around that table in the brisk morning air of the Garth, none of them knew of me or my efforts these past 32 years at Evergreen Baptist Church of Los Angeles (Rosemead). When it came time to hear from them, one of the theology students asked the question I’ve heard the most after describing the radical transformation that is taking place at EvergreenLA. “What can we do when we’re not the ones in the key leadership seats and when those who occupy those seats don’t want to change in order to become a more vital church?”
