The Corinthian Plan II
by Carl M. Metzler, Goshen, Ind.I read with great interest The Corinthian Plan articles in the March 3 issue. Having been for many years a member of a congregation of fewer than 60 members and now belonging to a congregation of more than 900 members, I am aware of the diversity in pastoral support. I welcome a plan that expands our "community" across all the church. But I was disappointed that there were no details of how the plan will function. Who gives? Who receives? Hopefully we will be told more soon.
