I'm in Orlando this week for the Southern Baptist Convention, which has me thinking about Baptist identity, and connection to a denominatonal tradition. Dallas Willard was ordained in a Baptist church in 1956. He spent the rest of his life as a philosophy professor who worshiped across half a dozen traditions.

There are Monday mornings when I sit in my office and wonder if any of it is working? Is anyone changing? Dallas Willard had a word for us when we have this feeling. He said ministry is impossible. He meant it as good news. Link in reply.
