For the first time in a long time, new articles are going up in the site. They are as follows:

Rural Evangelism: Some Observations and Thoughts

Pictures of the Church from Ephesians

Morality of the New Covenant

Two new articles are available on the Practical Helps page. Both “Notes on the Revitalization of Rural Churches” and “Understanding the Dynamics of a Smaller Church” can be read online or downloaded and printed out for offline study.

The Rechurching of Rural America was written in conjunction with the 1998 to 2001 restudy of about 500 rural and small town churches in 99 townships in Missouri. This is the third restudy of these churches. The foundational study was done in 1952.
