- What are the benefits of existence as an official ministry of the local church? What are the risks?
- What are the benefits of existence as a non-official ministry of the local church? What are the risks?
- How does one decide whether to remain official or go non-official?
- If going non-official means being perceived as unrelated to the local faith community, what theological issues come into play? What are the parameters for such a decision?
- Given that there are both theological and political/administrative issues involved, how does one weight these issues?
- Which criteria should carry the most weight?
- If population size a factor in keeping a ministry official, how much weight should it carry?
I'm sure there's more, but that's it for now.
