Cultural Church

A colleague in ministry changed the "cultural face" of his Church -- or perhaps I should say, the Spirit did so through him. When he resigned, the "cultural face" returned to what it once was -- or moved strongly in that direction. So what happened? How did it happen? Did people realise what was happening? Did they intend what happened? And what were the motives then that lay behind Church attendance -- before and after? OBSERVATION: My impression, on speaking to members of that Church, was that there were a multitude of favourings and disfavourings through the change of ministry, and they were cultural.
