TCN would fall somewhere under the Board for Mission Services, so they're completely different animals, and Rev. Harrison has no involvement with TCN.<br /><br />As far as his thought about TCN, I recommend emailing him and asking him. You can really answer the question on your own. Just ask yourself this question: Is TCN at home in The House of My Fathers?Scott Diekmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227142854778319475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728845570179741211.post-52321851354157842882010-03-07T11:31:21.230-08:002010-03-07T11:31:21.230-08:00Since TCN is an outgrowth of LCMS missions, what i...Since TCN is an outgrowth of LCMS missions, what is the extent of Matt Harrison's involvement.<br /><br />What are Matt Harrison's thoughts about TCN?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728845570179741211.post-57649116107826614892009-04-27T17:49:00.000-07:002009-04-27T17:49:00.000-07:00It's all about what we can do to help out God, is...It's all about what we can do to help out God, isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728845570179741211.post-81295833375942737002009-04-27T12:34:00.000-07:002009-04-27T12:34:00.000-07:00I'm interested to see where you take this series s...I'm interested to see where you take this series since I am in the midst of it.Brian Yamabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04535848221157850349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728845570179741211.post-17207723187789787562009-04-27T10:45:00.000-07:002009-04-27T10:45:00.000-07:00A great start for this series of articles!

For decades we have been steeped in trendy, shallow, silly (Who Moved My Cheese?) management literature.<br /><br />How has this worked? See: General Motors, Ford, Wachovia, Lehman Bros., etc. It is obvious that American corporate culture was a house built on sand that could not withstand an entirely predictable housing downturn.<br /><br />So why is the church lusting after what so clearly has not worked in the corporate world? We say that the wisdom of God that is ours in scripture is wiser than the wisdom of the world, why not act like we believe that?Matt Jamisonnoreply@blogger.com
