Latest news: George Bullard’s new book released by TAB Media; Australia’s social media ban; latest updates on legal action against Greg Laurie

To read a quick recap of some of the latest news reports and other articles from The Baptist Paper this week, see below.

1. Most congregations have not fully captured God’s vision for them and too often settle for average — rather than strive for exceptional, says George Bullard.

2. Australia is now the world’s first country to ban children under 16 from major social media platforms. Will the U.S. be next? 

What about here? Australia bans children under 16 from social media platforms.

3. The original lawsuit was filed in September by two men claiming that a former pastor at Harvest Christian Fellowship abused them at a children’s shelter in Bucharest, Romania. Now that number is at 12.
