Speaking With 100 Pastors in India

Last night I was kindly invited by my Indian friend, Pastor John, to share a word at his regular pastors gathering.

The question as to whether or not the scale and shock of the RZIM scandal was sufficient to rouse the Church from comatose is rhetorical; of course it wasn’t.
