Webinar: Who Are the "Dones"
|
 Pinnacle Dialogue: Who are the "Dones"
and Why Should the Church Care About Them?
An Interview with Patrick Vaughn,
Author of Meeting Jesus At Starbucks (forthcoming)
Tuesday, September 11, 2018 at 11am
Cost: $20
Patrick Vaughn is affiliated with the church coaching/consulting organization, Pinnacle Leadership Associates. He is working with them to provide the above mentioned webinar. Very little has been written on the Dones, and this conversation promises to offer important and helpful insights.
Who are the "dones"? They are the 65 million people who have left the church. Another 7 million people are "almost dones." While they are still sitting in pews on Sunday morning, they already have one foot out the door. Why have the "dones" left the church? (Hint: Age is not the issue!) Are they simply angry malcontents? What might we learn from them? Can leaving actually be a spiritual practice? Join us for this conversation as Patrick helps us 1) understand their struggle; 2) consider how we might unwittingly turn people off Christian community; and 3) discover how the "dones" can enrich our faith.
