@gpackiam (And that not being thoughtful about the forms or theologies our churches have developed lends itself to a more colonial approach to mission, even if it is focused on people groups. It becomes about getting "those people" to adopt "our" theological/liturgical forms.)
@gpackiam This is an interesting and helpful observation. As someone who sees in myself what you call the "entrepreneurial" impulse, I'm not sure it comes from a less relational/person-oriented place, but a sense that many of our church forms enable im-personality.
@edstetzer@macpier On one hand, I agree. On another, I wonder if the Church has the potential to witness to the world how to disagree and embrace diversity of conviction in loving ways. I suppose it comes down to what we are united around-- the "answers" or the Way of being together.
@pacylin reading Where the Mountain Meets the Moon with my kids. Last night, we read about Dragon Well Tea, and I just happened to have some in the cupboard for tonight's reading.
@davidgungor@michaelgungor Ha. He does have a heart for the poor and oppressed. But, as a lifelong fan who has actually watched hundreds of games, there is a LOT of time for the Browns to be the Browns.
