| Summary: | The author argues for a more robust commitment to a theology of institutions. Acknowledging the roots of such thinking and work that has already been done, the case is built for those who guide contemporary prophets and train the rising ones to be doing a more thorough job of grounding their work in the reality of fallen institutions in need of redemption. Likewise, he argues that administrators and boards need to be modeling such a redemptive approach in the way seminaries are organized and run. For too long, he says, “we have been sending out precious cargo in leaky boats. These are times that call on us to do a better job of building worthy institutional boats.” |
