You cant resist change but you can identify it and work with it. The author identifies the kind of changes taking place around the historical standards of the Urban SDA church in Kenya. Historical standards sustain and ensure mission continuity of an organization. Mission is the only reason why the organization exists. A change in historical standards will be a change in mission which will also means a change of organization. Changes can be positive or negative. A church as an organization is in urban and rural areas. Changes are more likely to move from urban to rural areas that is why the study focused on urban areas.
