<br/><br/>The way into our future, writes Bishop Lawson, is not clear. The congregation of the future will see itself as a missionary congregation in mission territory, wherever in the world it is located. Such a congregation must be solid in faith, open to innovation, and responsive to the changing needs of the world. Bishop Lawson calls for a church that "incarnates compassion, peacemaking, and healing, where that deep but vague hunger [for a church] wil find a banquet table". 
<br/><br/> Restless and hungry.  Elusive tomorrow: a change completed.  Hungering demands response: the forming of our spirit.  Stark world: spiritual pollutants.  Something seems to draw you: congregations electric with God`s spirit.  Connections that help: hands and hearts in mutual support.  Global church: compassion, peacemaking, and healing.  Coming city of God`s shalom: whispers of hope.
