[Church-planters] Welcome, church planters!

[Dwight Welch]

I live in southern Illinois. I'm a member of the Disciples of Christ, former
UU, former campus minister, and now hoping to attend seminary this fall. I
don't plan to plant a church any time in the near future but I imagine that
for mainliners this question is a vital one and that much of the skills
involved may connect up with the skills used in revitalizing congregations.
So I'm just hoping to learn from others in how such a thing comes to happen.
