I'm living this as a staff pastor of one of the UMC's largest churches (Asbury in Tulsa). The big question for our church is what is the relationship between legacy and innovation. There is slowly a blossoming of understanding that we are going to have to innovate our thinking and our practices, but we don't want to leave behind the legacy of past generations of people who have made our church what it is. No surprise, the legacy idea wins out over the innovation idea about 90% of the time for the simple reason that legacy is just much easier and cheaper.
