I posted another article over at GraceGround.com today about being the church community. Here is an excerpt:
The church used to be the community center because there was not much else in the community. But now, people have a variety of options to pursue when it comes to looking for community — bars, coffee houses, soccer fields, and dance studios.
So rather than try to guilt people who have “left church” to leave their community and come back to church, it might be a good idea to recreate church around the current cultural forms of community.
Head on over there to read the rest of the article. And don’t forget, if you want a place to post some of your ideas about church and mission, or simply want to repost some of your old blog posts, apply to join the small-but-growing blogging community at GraceGround.
