It's not our parents' church anymore. But what is it? Where is it? Who is it?
We don't want to throw the baby out with the bath, but institutionalized religion has come apart. How do we put it back together again in a meaningful, authentic way?
Describe the church of your dreams, and how you would participate in it.
From a Facebook post:
ReplyDeleteMembers would GIVE their money to the church and decision making power about what it would be spent on would be shared equally amongst all members.

ReplyDeleteI don't know if I can describe the church of my dreams...it is a place where the sanctuary feels holy and accepting at the same time. Where I can go and tell God everything and He still loves me. It is a place where candles and statues or stained glass represent moments of miracles in our lives, glimpses of glory awaiting us, and the sustained hope that our salvation will deliver us to that Holy place to be with God and Jesus.
