Helpful Editorial

In the Feb. 27, 2003, Alabama Baptist editorial, “It’s Important to Know the Rules,” the article was well-written, positive and objective. Many basic needs for governing policies, objectives, goals, responsibilities and needs to know for churches were covered. This should be very helpful for the church leadership struggling in following Jesus on leadership and principles of servant leaders.

This editorial could be used as reference and placed on a church’s file. Those readers who have not read the article, please take the time to read and utilize Dr. Terry’s suggestions.

When utilizing information/sources available at www.alsbom.org, other free help and from persons such as Dale Huff, Jim Swedenburg and many others, most policies for church and responsibilities should become accessible.

I appreciate your challenges to churches to look inside and trust in God’s ways for placing the church on firm foundations and edifying the Spirit.
