A Community Emerges

We had a very good meeting for the YCLA at Furman yesterday. The first four Sections of the Constitution (Purpose, Goals, Doctrines, and Philosophy) are more or less completed. Section 5 (Governance), as well as the Creed, Theme Song, and finished logo are on the way. The membership requirements are still coming too, even though we already had the first election! Funny how these things work...

I really appreciate the joyful, informal air at the YCLA meeting. We are actually creating an organism of believers who can in a real sense be church together - a community of people who can learn, exemplify, and teach the Biblical worldview of life.

The YCLA is not just about us being "Young." It is about being "Christian" and "Leaders." And it is about being "Allied" in work and play and school and home. It is about Living; not just right now, but tommorrow and always - on a higher, freer ground.

My new title is that of President... woh woh. I will strive to make the real job that of Presiding Servant.


Yours in Christ,
R. Josiah Magnuson
