Please share some of the questions asked by the younger generation so that we see the focus of what they are looking for in terms of the leadership for our church.

I saw the forum and was very impressed with it. Can CME TV please do a re-broadcast of the forum

The questions were very good, but I'm not sure they necessarily reflected the concerns of youthful CMEs. This is what I wrote in the May issue of The Christian Index: "...Group One members were asked to clarify their position on homosexuality, perhaps THE most controversial issue facing the Christian church today. But there were other questions, such as the avocation of an “eclectic” style of leadership; ways to increase revenue for the church; how the candidate currently uses technology in ministry; how one knows he or she has been called by God into Kingdom building; prospects for the church for health coverage for ministers and members; and there were others." As far as a CME-TV repeat, you would need to contact the CIT folk, or Dr. Victor Taylor. I understand that there is a DVD that will be available for purchase. As soon as I see that information, I'll pass it along.
