Redefining Church

September 16th, 2005 Comments Off

Richard Passmore has a very insightful article 10 Steps towards a redefinition of church, that poses some questions as well as some thoughts for moving forward as a church. Here are the first three:

A Manifesto Calling for a New Way of Being and Defining Church.

1. The first reformation gave the bible back to the people and we need to give church back to the people (not just christian people).

2. This will take a redefinition of church NOT just a change in style.

3. The churches sub cultural weakness is a leaning towards evolution over revolution, hence style over definition.
