Listen "Phil Colgan: A theology of statistics"
Episode Synopsis
It is an uncomfortable but important question: What place should numbers have in our thinking about ministry success?We all want to be faithful. But what happens when the numbers are down? Do we need to change something? Or should we just continue in the same trajectory?And should we be counting at all?This is the tension between divine sovereignty and human responsibility. A tension between preaching the word and evaluating what’s actually working.Phil Colgan has been the long term senior pastor of St George North Anglican in Sydney and presented on a Theology of Numbers at the recent Nexus Conference.
