The Church of the Nazarene is rearticulating it's mission in a simple, to the point statement.
I'm downright proud. Resources and reasons for the change can be found here.

This is definitely on the right track for us Nazarenes. I like the term “Christ like” in the main statement in regards to holiness because it expresses a picture of holiness that goes beyond the shallow image of just personal piety that our tradition has come to associate with holiness. I think this still comes out a bit with the added qualifiers in the statement of “holy” and “righteous” but the idea of seeking Christ likeness goes far beyond just these two things.

Is the same Jamie Diggs that went to MidAmerica in the early 90's?
If so, we must meet for coffee in DC (I come up there every 2-3 months for a day away).
Peace,
Scott
