Emmy Award winning journalist Chris Yaw is an Episcopal priest who effectively blends his expertise in media and ministry with his passion for building healthier congregations in his new creation: ChurchNext.

So What?
Yaw asked me the kind of questions congregational leaders should be discussing as they consider what it means to be a part of a denomination in the early twenty-first century.
- Were you aware just how significant the decline in the mainline is over the last few generations? Of the sociological factors contributing to it?
- What insight did you glean from the interview that can be used by your local congregation? How will you proceed to begin a conversation about this matter with the appropriate leader(s) or leadership team(s)?
