What For

It is a question that has been asked about the recent meeting of Presidents Trump and Kim on the Korean peninsula. The BBC asked: "But to what end?" In the Church, though, one thinks quite differently. God may use a meeting among clergy in particular to work marvels one had never imagined. I once asked the president of a Congregational world conference why we were meeting. He said: "Just to meet -- and to see what God does." OBSERVATION: Looking back over my own career, that world conference was of critical importance to me. There have been many meetings besides which were "just to meet" yet were of great significance to ministry and Church.
