Salvation Army Focus Groups Make Submissions to Lausanne 2004
As the world Church gathered for the Lausanne 2004 Forum for World Evangelisation – starting in Thailand on September 29, 2004 – The Salvation Army's focus groups made submissions on most of the topics identified as roadblocks to evangelism.
Extracts from some of the letters from Convenors of the Lausanne Issue Groups express appreciation:
- How encouraging. I am so grateful for this. I did not know that the Salvation Army had chosen this route. It is a wonderful way to contribute to the whole Lausanne process.
- Thank you very much indeed for your prayers and for the document you sent. I have emailed it to all the participants in the Issue Group.
- Thank you for this very helpful and admirably focused paper. I will now forward it to all the members of our Issue Group so we can all study it well before Thailand.
- Your group will be reassured to know that it resonates very closely with where we have reached. There are one or two specifics that are new suggestions, and we are heartened that this extra input reinforces our thinking.
- Thank you for forwarding the results of your Salvation Army focus groups. You are right on target and we are on the same wavelength.
Salvation Army delegates to the forum, under the leadership of Colonel Earl Robinson, Secretary for Spiritual Life Development and International External Relations, will participate in Lausanne Issue Groups. Reports from these groups are posted on the internet.
Salvation Army Focus Groups will review these when the final Lausanne Forum 2004 is submitted to the General. |
