I've been wondering what I am really hoping for in leading a community of Christ followers... and I don't think it's church - the way I experience it. The end result of a weekly gathering is not the church's goal or raison d'etre, it's (1) one of the environments (a key one) that shapes the Christ following community into Christ likeness and living out kingdom values, but also (2) the sending base from which we jump back into our vocations of mission; and possibly the rekindling of fire to burn hotter and brighter through us in the world.
A Christ following community involved in a movement that will shape the planet is what I hope to belong to.
How to shape that? In reflection...
