After hearing the new name I resisted posting a comment because I wanted to wait to see if my initial reaction would last. After all, I'm sure that much time, thought and prayer went into the process that resulted in the suggested name. But after two weeks I find the name still fails to resonate with me. Perhaps it's because I like jazz and appreciate dischords. Or perhaps it is my limited experience of church always being messy. We don't always get along but get along anyway because we recognize that our mission is more important than our relatively petty squabbles. Resonating sounds like something to dream of but I don't think will ever be achieved on this side of life.
I can see the desire to have some kind of descriptor before "global mission " but personally don't think "resonate" works. Too bad World Renew is already taken.
