No doubt I’m “over the hill” but I am dismayed at the descriptions of the work of enablers whose experience is being highlighted in our denomination's internet presence.
I have recently been given the opportunity of sharing my concerns with the Methodist Church's LSM Task Group. I’m not sure that my response was as gracious as their invitation but as the LSM proposal has developed I have felt very strongly that our denomination is modeling a very intensive style of Enabler minister.
As a result the proposed cost of the LSM strategy seems to be rising beyond the reasonable reach of very small congregations. I think we may be at risk of developing a new style of exclusive, specialist ministry which is inappropriate to our size and budget.
There's quite a bit more on this theme in a paper of the same name on my home page
