Thanks for the challenge. I think it is difficult to be transparent. Transparency often equals vulnerablity. I think we need to be willing to be exposed and vulnerable even when it is uncomfortable.

I will join you in this goal in 2010.

What does it say about Christian Ministries who have to be told to be transparent because it's necessary now for Public Image management?

Whatever happened to leading by example because something is morally right and to live as if everything said in private will be shouted from the roof tops whether it is or not?

Transparent? The church has become less of a community that knows and loves each other's warts and helps each other through them, to a collection of people wearing masks and acting like we all have it together.

Yes, we see it in leaders, but also in the pews.

And because that is how we are in the pews, we demand our leaders to become our own view of "perfect".

If there is something I am looking for in 2010 it is friends that will allow me to be transparent, call me on my issues and help me work through them--like the Church is supposed to do-- And still love me.

Thank you for laying down the gauntlet, Phil… Let’s see if the Church can man-up to this challenge.

Dave, Googles practices have in many cases skewed to the Leftist point of view. See for yous Yesterday Google removed all negative and derogatory references when the word Islam was entered. However it do you do the same thing the entering the word Christianity of Judaism. Please look at the phrase suggestions which appear after you type in the Words I have listen

Just as egregious is Google actions to mislead the uniformed on the Constitutionally 10 year required Census requirments

Please type Constitution Census into Google

You will find: that the top listed links are disgraceful! They purposefully attempt to mislead the uninformed, by fraudulently claiming that the Constitution specifies that Citizens as well as non-citizens are to be counted in census.

The Constitution does not address this because the founders could never have imagined a situation where our Federal Government would have willfully disregarded immigration laws and unlawfully allowed millions of illegal inhabitants into our Nation.

Furthermore; the only thing which can be deemed relevant to the question is the Claus, immediately preceding mention of the census, in the the same, Section II of Article I of the Constitution-which clearly does not support counting illegal aliens in the US Census:

Clause 2: No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.

Sincerely,
