Well, a new day has dawned in home-missions today. Bob Reccord has anounced his resignation from the North American Mission Board of the SBC today. Interestingly enough, while the article in BP said it was merely what Reccord chose to do for the good of the organization, it seems rather odd that it occurs so closely after a rather difficult controversy concerning his leadership. Either way, hopefully any changes in leadership will move us as a group toward seeing work in this country as a true cross-cultural activity on a bigger scale. It seems this idea is not recognized enough, but this culture is not conducive to evanglism in the same way it has been done for so many years. When the greatest growth of the Church universal is outside this country, it signals a need for greater awareness for how our situation in this country is different now. We have made many amazing transitions in our outlook and methodology overseas, maybe it is time to begin thinking more like this here at home.
