The Church Growth Contributions Of J. Waskom Pickett, David L. Cook

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

McGavran rightly credits Church Growth's modern origins to the mind and contributions of J. Waskom Pickett. The fact the Church Growth movement has now eclipsed Pickett's name raises some important questions: Who was Pickett? How did he come to do Church Growth research even before McGavran? And what are some of his contributions and insights?

Church Growthcoming Of Age, Elmer Towns

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

The Church Growth movement is relatively young in recognition and development. Even though there have been growing churches since Pentecost, Church Growth is a relatively young area of study.

Ethnic Church Planting, Daniel Sanchez

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

Christian Leadership Attributes Dynamic Increase In Effectiveness To The Work Of Intercessors, Nancy Plaff

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

László Tőkés, Timisoara And The Romanian Revolution, Mark Elliott

Occasional Papers on Religion in Eastern Europe

On the eve of the Romanian revolution of December 1989, Ceausescu exercised a stranglehold on religious expression encompassing I) systematic interference in all aspects of church life, 2) physical intimidation, 3) a ban on Eastern Catholicism and the Lord's Army, and 4) increasing church demolitions. A truly courageous voice of protest from Reformed pastor Laszlo Tokes triggered massive multi-national interdenominational demonstrations in Timisoara which toppled the Communist dictatorship in a matter of days.
