I read this today it is from the son of Robert Schuler.
He says of taking over from his father: "I can't walk in his shoes; that's not going to help us at all because that means we're just going to retrace history. We need to create some new shoes that I can walk in, that will take us into the current decade and into the future and make a positive impact in this community. Nobody can walk in another man's shoes. History is history; the present is the present; and the future, the future. And a result of that, we have to discover the direction that God has for our own lives and fulfill that calling that God has for each of us.
"As Christian leaders we need to continue to see ourselves in the same way รข€“ not caught in the history, but part of the history and with a continuation into the future so that we continue to build the kingdom and not recess into the kingdom.
"And throughout history there has been recessions and the dark ages was clearly a recession. We're not going back there. Christian leaders need to be aware of the fact that we're moving forward and meet the needs of people where they are today as opposed to where they were."
