Collectively. As a body. This does not fall on the pastor to fix alone. I like the ideas in the follow-up article "10 Ways to Draw Me To Your Church". I see several things there I could be doing personally which simply involve the messy work of getting involved in people's lives. I think I need to do a better job of this with my church-members, not just new folks who might come along. It truly requires a change in lifestyle and mindset to become a welcoming person who loves people and pursues them as Christ pursued me. I pray He will change me.
