VERLON FOSNER has led an innovative congregation in Seattle, Washington since 1999. In the last decade the congregation transitioned from a traditional proclamation church into a multi-site Dinner Church called Community Dinners (www.CommunityDinners. com). In this decade when more US churches are declining than thriving, Verlon sensed that a different way of doing church was needed for their 97-year-old Seattle congregation.
