Mission in a Secular World
My Presentation for the Richmond Forum on Mission and Missiology

Friends:

This past Thursday I was privileged to speak to the Mission Group in Richmond on
"Mission and Secularism: Sharing Faith in AmericaToday."

Dr. Stan Skreslet of Union/PSCE invited me and hosted the evening for the colleagues.

The occasion impelled me to put some of my thoughts on paper.
The discussion with the members was thought-provoking.
I will be revising my paper and adding new thoughts.

It has always been a privilege for me to work with the three member institutions of the Richmond Consortium.
So I am a sad that our association will come to an end this June.
I perceive that on Thursday I made my last official visit--though I intend, as a friend, to stop in from time to time at the 2 schools who are departing, Union/PSCE and BTSR.

On Monday the Board of the Washington Theological Consortium voted to admit the Samuel DeWitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University to the Consortium---so our relationship will continue in a new way--and I will continue to travel to Richmond but in a somewhat different role.

Peace,
John
