The stats showed that <strong>HOPE</strong> 08 was a catalyst<br />
to bring the Church together holding the<br />
tension of words and action. Churches that<br />
were great at proclamation worked with those<br />
who were more used to social engagement, and<br />
people saw that you don’t need to divide, with<br />
the proclaimers over there and the extravagant<br />
acts of love over here, because that segregation<br />
is not true to Jesus’ ministry.<br />
