How fast can a Church recover? Speaking now of any Church which would seem beyond hope. Churches seem to me to be much like nations -- except that national recovery is often assessed economically. In the case of nations, take a worst case scenario: massive destruction and demoralisation through a state of war. A country can show very significant signs of recovery within weeks, not months or years. In the Church, I have seen and experienced this: a Church that seems beyond hope may show very significant signs of recovery in weeks, though more likely months. For a shift from disaster to prosperity, I would say within, say, five years. OBSERVATION: And I hold that this is transferable (not a fluke in special situations).
