I would recommend a similar idea. 1. Start every day with 10 minutes of devotional thought. 2. Make a effort to stay in faith by doing devotions 6 of 7 days every week. 3. Demonstrate any act of faith or belief at least once a week in a different way then you did in the last month. 4. Share any scripture story you read in a way that welcomes others. 5. Never give up on you and your love of faith, and people you care about. 6. Laugh out loud, live in the moment of the next 15 minutes, Hug anyone. 7. Keep a family member in your prayers, who needs your thoughts. 8. Attend a different faith center at least once every 6 months. 9. Never forget God's love ever. 10. Eat well, rest when your tired, and play with energy so you can relax with joy at you efforts.

If we own these things called parishioners, do we also care about paying their bills and keeping them fed and alive. Old church models do not work any more then modern leadership roles. The balance comes from making the people who are seeking want to be part of all the elements of faith. Trust and respect of who they are and where they are being offered support of scripture, by discussion not told what to think, empowers a new style where everyone is able to enjoy God's love and the joy of the Holy Ghost.
