No -- certainly not to the extent of that survey -- but we are beginning to move in that direction -- on a ten point scale, we are maybe a 4-something -- compared to a 1-something three years ago.

Not everyone's vision for Peace is missional.

It seems that my view of Peace in practice is different than Kim's -- I wonder how much the "experience" varies across the congregation?
