- Title
Regaining a Prophetic Voice for the Church Today Training Leaders to Impact Postmodern Culture.

- Abstract
For 400 years the leadership of the Congregational Church was known to address the problems people faced with prophetic solutions and simple instructions from Scripture. A relevant and therefore growing Church today needs to be future-oriented, providing answers for life today. The total training of the leadership of the Church must therefore focus on today and tomorrow. As the seminary goes, so goes the Church. This article points to five major areas that are for the most part neglected in the training of church leaders today, namely: biblical stewardship, reconciliation and peacemaking, outreach and discipleship, ministry to little people, and lay/marketplace training.
