Non-Sexy Church

I have been meaning to link to this for a while: Andrew Jones on House Church. I think it is a really interesting article. Some good, real points made expressing some real enthusiasm. Darren at the Living Room has added more comments here. What do you think? Good points have been made in various forums about the fact that maybe authentication isn’t really an issue and that house churches aren’t the only way of the future. I think, though, that Andrew manages to take some real questions/struggles that we can really face and show how maybe they are not the end of the world.

Note: for those who aren’t aware Andrew Jones is a bit of a blogging legend in the christian blogsphere.

Community DNA

This post quoted over at the Living Room is really good. It talks about a church’s DNA being a defining factor rather than a controlling factor. I think that is what I what the 6 foundations of home church to be. Maybe I need to rename them, I prefer DNA to foundations, but the thought is the same. The 6 foundations are meant to be the launching factor for all aspects of our life together, providing definition, but not in order to control activity, but in order to provide room and a basis on which the community can work together. I love the example quoted in the post - the idea that things don’t need to be programmed in, but a forum can be created that releases the giftings already within the community.

It is amazing quite how much of a mindshift this is…
