Organic Church Round Table 3

I think a couple of guys have been along to the organic church roundtable conversations over the last 2 years. Well there is a third - “the return” or something. This one will be pretty special, i think. We have got Stuart Murray-Williams coming to help the conversation. Stuart has writen a few books on church, church planting, tithing, post-Christendom

, and anabaptism. I am sure he will be a great conversation partner! The topic will be something along the lines of “making disciples in a churchless age”, but more detail will be available nearer the time.

Community, a Quality of the Heart

The word community has many connotations, some positive, some negative. Community can make us think of a safe togetherness, shared meals, common goals, and joyful celebrations. It also can call forth images of sectarian exclusivity, in-group language, self-satisfied isolation, and romantic naivete. However, community is first of all a quality of the heart. It grows from the spiritual knowledge that we are alive not for ourselves but for one another. Community is the fruit of our capacity to make the interests of others more important than our own (see Philippians 2:4). The question, therefore, is not “How can we make community?” but “How can we develop and nurture giving hearts?”
