The following statement made by PM Lee as the foreword for the book "Economics in Public Policies - The Singapore Story" caught my attention and is so apt to describe my thoughts towards the church.
"A better informed and engaged citizenry will more likely support rational policies that ensure our continued growth and success..."
For more information on the context of this statement, you can refer to the following link below.

Simply translated in the church context, it means "Better informed and engagaed church members will more likely to support comprehensive, well-considered and thought through policies that ensure our substained, continued growth and success..."
Is it sufficient at the level of information dissemination by the church leadership?
Is it sufficient at the level of members' engagement in decision making of important things?
How does better informed and engaged church members "fit into" the vision of "Fulfilling the Great Commission by raising Christ-centred disciples to plant vibrant, biblical churches in our city, country and all over the world"?
If raising Christ-centred disciples means making disciples who are engaged in Kingdom business, whose convictions and conclusions of their surroundings are based on truth and adequate information about the happenings, then is the leadership doing enough to promote this?
Is it time to align our leadership practices to our beliefs?
