church leaders in the modern era. He claims to run the largest evangelical 
congregation in Europe with 25,000 members in Kiev, Ukraine, alone</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.christianpost.com/article/20070622/28101_Ukraine%27s_Influential_Church_Leader_Shifting_the_Way_Americans_Think_Church.htm"><P>The church was impacting European society because Adelaja "made a fundamental shift in his thinking that the church must be active in society and take responsibility for its outcome," Davis noted. "He chose to make a decision to take responsibility for the spiritual condition of his society and his nation."</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.christianpost.com/article/20070622/28101_Ukraine%27s_Influential_Church_Leader_Shifting_the_Way_Americans_Think_Church.htm">
<P>In America, Adelaja points to an abundance of resources, opportunities and 
big churches. "But is the church truly making a difference in America?"</p> <P>
<P>"When you think about how many churches we have in America, yet you see and 
we all see the growing amount of decadence in our culture, you have to ask: Is 
the culture changing the church or is the church changing the culture?"</P></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/E1889E12-EC84-4607-96FE-9AA9E718BA46/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
