emerging church, emergent, simple church, house church, home church.Thursday, September 8
30 hallmarks of emerging scripture-based fellowships - 1  Participation: "Let's say you just had your best week or maybe your worst week ever - you've gone broke, your spouse has left you, and you've been diagnosed with mad chipmunk disease. You come crawling into church, desperate for prayer, helping hands, or just a sympathetic ear. But no, you're not part of the program. (If you think you are, take a look at the bulletin. See your name in there anywhere?)...While the Pastor is forced to produce 45 minutes of fresh material every Sunday, you are prohibited from sharing 45 seconds of anything."OK, thankfully some congregational churches are not quite that bad but participation is the name of the game in small, open churches; all are encouraged even trained to take part, led by the Holy Spirit. Remember, lions don't grow in small cages. posted by alexander @ 11:00 AM 0 comments
