But you're right that it will have the backward-looking sense for many people, if not most. Maybe "Renewing" is better.Andy Kaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01863052203418450397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10881824.post-63256621482160400112007-01-04T11:20:00.000-08:002007-01-04T11:20:00.000-08:00I like the idea here, and agree that with your tak...I like the idea here, and agree that with your take on the metaphor of the church reforming. I have appreciated, rather than reformanda or conversio the image of renovare. "Church Repentent" seems to look backward -- changing what we have done. Semper Renovare or the "Church Renewing" points forward for me, and speaks to moving toward something rather than away from something.Pastor Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494101435500835028noreply@blogger.com
