Innovation is a perennial call to the church. Put another way,
The need to do the new thing has never been greater. While demographic and lifestyle choices have been downsizing our churches, only churches of innovation, refreshed tradition, and creative service ministry promise to move us to the future.
Who could be better to teach us about innovation than the Rev. Dr. Katharine Henderson, the president of Auburn Seminary? Reimagining the work of the institution, Auburn's new mission is to "Trouble the Waters, Heal the World."
Katharine will be our Keynote speaker at General Association this year, September 24 and 25.

Taking the message to the gentiles, Paul was an innovator."Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? (Isaiah 43:18-19)
