I was at the AGIF conference in Norwalk Connecticut. (Assemblies of God International Fellowship, an independent ministers group of which I am one of the elders) I asked some people what they liked about it, and the response was "fellowship." The leaders sat at the table with everybody else, and they were accessible.
There are preachers who have a need to communicate with peers, rather than competing for denominational positions. We saw that happening again, as it always does in our conferences. George Ekeroth has proven to be a good leader, and Dale Collins has been a good editor and advisor. This is not the direction I thought the fellowship would follow when Ted Lanes died, but I'm pleased with the result. There is a divine hand guiding us.
