If you could build a Ministers Network/Fellowship

What would you call it?

How would organize it, loosely or require something?

What would you offer that would be attractive?

How would you grow it?


I have been around friends that have talked about this, so I am curious about what some of you think.

Re: If you could build a Ministers Network/Fellows

What would I call it:

"More of the Same"

just my 2 cents, we need another organization/network like a broken leg. How about tearing down some walls and doing something that brings diverse views of oneness people together for open dialouge which could lead to more fellowship. Just general comments here, not necessarily directed at you Keith.

I like the concept, but the problem is, does anyone outside of TX know about it?

How would one start it?

To quote Niles Crane, "We must first start with a strong parliamentary procedure!"

Re: If you could build a Ministers Network/Fellows

I would call it Star Gate Command. I would divide it up into teams called SG...SG-1, SG-2 etc etc
The only requirement is a real hate for Goa'ulds

Re: If you could build a Ministers Network/Fellows

The only hope would be a network of apostolic ministers who use their talents to create the network whether those talents be website building, networking talents etc with no license fee etc.

Where ever money is involved people will eventually want control and the same thing starts again.

Re: If you could build a Ministers Network/Fellows

I wouldn't want a ministers' fellowship/network, but a full body of believers--a fellowship of churches that included every part of the body of Christ. This group would maintain some accountability and training especially for beginning pastors and active laity and would hear any concerns/issues and offer fair resolutions. They would not permit gossip or unprofessional behavior, and would not deny any member the right to relocate or change churches to another church in the same denomination (by the bylaws or manual) for any reason. They would also not send whispers of slander along with a member if he/she/they decided to transfer.

Re: If you could build a Ministers Network/Fellows

BTW any Ministerial Fellowship that does not give a voice or vote to the members of each congregation, should NOT be forced to keep some sort of organizational law that is meant for licensed ministers
