There is a good article about my leaving Trinity Church in today's Wall Street Journal. The only bummer about the article is it does not speak about the amazing staff that is remaining and about what's next for the church. There is a terrific amount of hopefulness and anticipation in the community about the future of this cool church (as well there should be!). I also disagree that 10 years after we started "as rebels" that we are now "the establishment." If you come on a Sunday you will see that's hardly the case!
There is much I am going to miss about my faith tribe but it is on a great trajectory.
That is a good article, Ian. I sure wish I could be there with you on your last Sunday. I expect there will be many tears shed and funny stories told and lots of music played and many prayers raised for you and for the church.
You and your family remain in my thoughts and prayers. I look forward to your next book and whatever else the Lord has in store for you in the coming months and years. Please keep us updated here on the blog. Or you can add me to any mailing list or group you have going. I want to remain prayerfully partnered with you in wherever you go and in whatever you are called to do.
Have you ever thought about adding a book list link to the blog? Or links to articles that have influenced you? Just a thought...

I could never adequately express my appreciation for Chasing Francis. I wish you the very best in this next chapter and look forward to your next book. Blessings.
