hey – I like this set up and your thoughts on the aa church. Don’t know if you’ve read it yet, but IVP produced a book last year called Growing Healthy Asian American Churches, written by some AA pastors of well known AA churches. (http://www.ivpress.com/cgi-ivpress/book.pl/code=3325). You might find it interesting.
LT! I like the new digs!
