ABSTRACT
This chapter considers and answers four objections to the Theory of Religious Communication. Unless the communicative enterprises of Evangelism, Child Nurture and Ministerial Formation are effectively carried out, in the long run the supply of such Christian community-workers, activists and prophets will dry up. The second theological objection to our Theory is that, by putting so much emphasis on human analysis and study of what communication requires and then by expecting Christians to undertake the tasks as thus outlined, too much weight is put on human effort and not enough on trust in God. When the enterprise of communication is broken down into our eight Stages and when a wide range of different tasks for the Communicator becomes apparent, a local church may feel it lacks the resources to undertake such a complex activity. Christian communication fails just because it is not realised what is required to succeed in this enterprise.
