In Dr. Williams podcast on 4/28 he quoted Alvin Toffler. That pleased me as I have read Toffler now for 40 years. He is translated in 25 languages and millions of his books are in print. In his last book he talked about the speed of institutions. Putting business as the fastest and listing others down to where they are barely moving. Churches are moving so slow in innovation and adaptation to the new that he didn’t even list them. That sent me searching 1906 records ( basically when the CoG was formed ) at that time the SBC had 2 million adherents and they climbed to 14 million before losing a million or so. The CoG now has about one million in the U S or about 1/3 of one percent of the population. To put it another way the SBC has moved at 7 times the speed of the CoG. Don’t know what this means in God’s eternal statistics but I thought it was interesting way to look at our history.
