Our denomination is thinking of changing its name. They want something fresh and catchy. Names do mean somthing. A name that defines someone needs to evoke an emotional response. As Christ followers we want a name that either captures our identity or our mission and purpose. The name that is being considered is "Converge Upper Midwest.
This name does nothing for me. Converge doesn't capture the spirit of a Christ follower. We converge at intersections and have accidents. In mathematics convege means to have a limited sum.
Converge is antithetical to evrything the pioneer Swedes were in coming to this country for Religious freedom. They were independent and innovative. They were men and women of conviction and hope. Somehow Converge doesn't capture their spirit, the spirit of the state of Minnesota, or my spirit.
What do you think?
