This morning, Dr. Callahan is talking about the different languages that individuals speak in a congregation and noting the importance of learning and speaking the language of the grassroots of a congregation. He proposes five possible languages.
1. Athletic, Physical
2. Intellectual, Cognitive
3. Extracurricular, work project
4. Social, relational
5. Music, arts
The problems that some pastors, congregations, synods and institutions face is a gap between the language and learning style of the leaders and the grassroots. The art is to learn and use the language of the people gifted to you by God.
