07-07-2013 Great Expectations

Lillian Daniel said that the evangelism strategy in mainline churches for the last 50 years has been to say "if we expect as little as possible from them, the unchurched will come to us."  This isn't working.  And it isn't honest, and it doesn't lead to the kind of personal and social transformation that we long for.  What would it mean, instead, to have Great Expectations?  To say, yes, everyone is welcome, but the spiritual path we offer is rigorous, demanding, and requires much of you?
