On Dec. 6, 2011, Jack Haberer presented a Webinar titled, “What’s to Become of Our Church?  …Trajectories of Hope.”  In it he presented a case for retaining structural unity with a denomination – even if feeling estranged from it – instead of separating from it.  After responding to questions for 30 minutes, many questions remained, so he has prepared responses to all those questions and they are available here to read by all. 

If you would like to view the actual Webinar, an archived version is available for on-demand replay or as a DVD.
