We don't talk about it very much. Perhaps it's too taboo to speak about out in the open. Perhaps we're all a little embarrassed by it. But we do need to talk about it because it affects each one of us and it is seriously hurting Christ's church.
"It" is biblical illiteracy in the United States.
I am interested in a constructive conversation around this concern and trend. What can we, as the whole church together, do to reverse this trend? I am, of course, open to suggestions as to how I as a pastor can be a part of this, but I am also interested in how the whole church working together can recommit itself to the ministry of teaching the Scriptures. Feel free to send suggestions to bethlehempemberville[at]gmail.com.
For some ideas, you may want to complete all or part of our denomination's Book of Faith assessment tool.
