Monday, March 22, 2004SouthPoint I've just got back from meeting the guys that Emily contacted in South Africa. I didn't go to South Africa you understand, they were in Wetherspoons [of all places...]. Anyway it was great to meet them and hear their story. We talked about church based in homes, how they run and most importantly how they are missional. They had just been at a conference that had challenged them a lot about seeing relationships as the primary for our church identity. In a family you are defined, not by the fact that you see each other at certain organised during the week, even if it is a meal, but by your relationships to each other, like brother, father, sister, daughter etc. I think that is relly helpful to remember as we go forward as a community on a mission. It means if there is no relationships there is no church,a nd that the quality of the church is dependant on the quality of the relationships. Church is not a building, as we know, but it is also not a meeting, however often and in whatever style, it is the community of believers, journeying together in the way of Jesus. It was nice to meet them. Thanks guys ;o). [and Emily] It was also good to see Steve Gee again, and his friend Arran. Posted by: Mark | 11:11 pm |
