What is the Church?
Here is a beautifully done video from one of CA's projects in Brussels called The WELL. I found myself strangely moved as I watched it. With so many people either pulling out or disparaging a caricature of the church, the Well and scores of other communities like them are representing Jesus in their cities in truly remarkable ways.
Take a look and let me know what you think!
Newbigin – The Gospel as Public Truth
Lessile Newbigin has been one of my heros for some time.
The Church as its True Self – Alan Hirsch
"When the church is in mission, it is the true church. The church itself is not only a product of
that mission but is obligated and destined to extend it by whatever means possible. The mission of God flows directly through every believer and every community of faith that adheres to Jesus. To obstruct this is to block God's purposes in and through his people."
From The Forgotten Ways, by my buddy Alan Hirsch
