After 20 years on the road, I am going to retire this ministry at the end of 2012. Therefore, should you wish to plan a fall event, you must contact me before the end of May 2012 to allow sufficient time for planning and publicity. I invite and welcome your inquiries especially if your congregation is at a pivotal time and your clergy and lay leaders are keen to move forward, and upward. This was the case in 4 of the last 5 events I led in the fall of 2011, and those events proved incredibly productive and exceptionally well-timed for the host churches. So, I will reply to all inquiries promptly and should be able to accommodate your timing for the fall of 2012.

●  DESIGN: This site: created and maintained by Andrew D. Weeks, Copyright © 1998 - 2012. Unlike my PowerPoint presentations, which are graphic-laden and heavily animated, I intentionally maintain these pages in text-based versions (without tables or Javascript subtexts) because:
a. still, many of the guests to this site are restricted to slow-speed access; and,
b. most guests to this site wish to copy text (references, bio, etc.) and/or to download entire files.
This setup maximizes download speeds and simplifies those transfers. I hope the balance between the speedy text loading and the inclusion of select but limited graphics will make your tour pleasant, informative and expeditious. I invite you also to download any of the texts and graphics for your personal use. And I especially welcome your doing so if you are considering engaging my services and wish to collect information about me and my ministry to discuss with others. (Please see FAQ's & Fees page).

●  SYMBOLISM: The design and colors of the Magnetic Church Banner were chosen for their symbolism: the text in green and cross background in yellow to express new life; the border in red to signify Jesus’ sacrifice for us; and a text background and cross outline in black representing the darkness of the world around us. The multicolored ‘patches’ on the cross represent both the diversity of the world’s ethnic groups and the range of Myers-Briggs personality types, and each patch has a slight imperfection, reflecting our own condition as "Christians under Construction".
