It’s Not About the Church

I wanted to add another post soon after the last one but this week I have been at a conference in Ottawa with little access to the Internet. Some might think that I hate the church or am anti-church in some way after reading my last post. So, I just want to say that it really isn’t about the church. I don’t hate the church. The issue is with the structures that so often go together with church that often hinder us from following Jesus. (The podcast found at www.thegodjourney.com often puts words to thoughts in this area.) Once a church is started, you need to be a certain amount of energy into just keeping the church running and making sure that enough people attend the church so as to support itself. We all know that spirituality cannot be programmed and yet most churches are full of programs that are supposed to help us in our spiritual journey. But it doesn’t. I heard about one church this week in the Christian and Missionary Alliance denomination that recently acquired a building and then decided to not use the space for church programs but to open it up for community groups to use during the week. I don’t know much else about that church but I would love to learn more about that church and others that put more value on people than programs. More to follow in the days ahead . . .
