Read about this newsmaker visiting Pittsburgh who came to see empowering the family as key to church health and renewal of the urban community. I especially appreciate Rev. Alyn Waller's vision of bringing everyone back together:

"In order to strengthen families, churches need to get back to traditional biblical teachings about the importance of family and its roles. Family ministry needs to have language that is affirming, and there needs to be intergenerational fellowship. In the past, we've put the men upstairs, the women downstairs and the children outside. We need to come back together."

May all of our local congregations have such a vision and may our transforming vision link arms w/the likes of Waller, reaching across ethnic, class, educational, and generational differences.
