In my early 20s (in the early 80s), I was attending a large church in Ottawa, prominent in the history of fundamentalism, through which many people flowed due to the transience of university life and government work. My peers who had grown up in that congregation had, for a variety of reasons good and bad, a cohesion that was sometimes experienced as a clique. But it only took one week until there was someone looking to be a part of things more recent than me. In very little time, by turning toward each other, we reached critical mass and contributed new energy and vision to the congregation. One of our greatest assets is that we lacked the history of the cradle congregants.Larry Greganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14060963195168622781noreply@blogger.com
