The value of any
organization – including small churches – lies in its
leadership. For it is leadership that defines and
envisions what an organization is about. When I think
about organizational structure three levels come to
mind. Those are first level leaders, second level
leaders, and support people. Successful organizations
figure out how to draw leadership from all three levels.
My hope is that
gochurch.info will eventually serve as a resource for
all three levels of leadership. With more small churches
turning toward part-time or even free ministry, and more
congregations returning to the New Testament style of a
priesthood of all believers in their ministry, new ways
to resource leaders must be found.
The basic concept of
gochurch.info is about leaders sharing their knowledge
and insights by Web technology.

Brain Science
And Jesus
by Monty Keeling

Who would have thought that
science would prove Jesus?
While it seems Christianity has
been at odds with science since Newton dropped the
apple, neurological studies of the brain are revealing a
human gospel that sounds a whole lot like the one first
attributed to Jesus of the New Testament.
The human brain “is hot
wired for religion” Andrew Newberg, M.D., and Mark
Robert Waldman write in their book How God Changes
Your Brain.
Newberg is the director of the University of
Pennsylvania's Center for Spirituality and the Mind. He
is one of the founders of a new interdisciplinary field
called neurotheology. The study of how faith effects the
mind. Neither Newberg or Waldman confess membership in
any established religion. Newberg believes God is more
than any religion understands, Waldman sees god as a
metaphor.
