Description of New Reformation by Lyle E. Schaller
Of Lyle Schaller's 21 signs of the New Reformation, here are five: (1) a new era in Christian music; (2) hundreds of new information resources for congregations, including parachurches, teaching churches, independent entrepreneurs, theological seminaries, profit-driven businesses, retreat centers, and independent mission-sending agencies; (3) market-driven planning; (4) a new level of trust in the laity; and (5) the flattening of hierarchical structures.
