Tom Sine of Mustard Seed Associates based in
Seattle has been encouraging congregations to prepare
themselves for a potential recession since last Fall. Two weeks ago on March 14 he and 65 Christian leaders from around Puget Sound
gathered at Trinity Lutheran Church in
Lynnwood, WA to "1) To learn from one another about the growing impact of the
recession on those in our congregations and communities as well as the larger
world; 2) share with one another best practices of recession readiness in our
congregations as well as other congregations near and far; and 2) create new

out to our neighbors."
"Deepening Recession, Ready or Not" is the summary from that gathering and initial collection of best practices. Shared with author's permission.
