This week, 3 guys from Ontario swung by Montreal in their pursuit of discovering NEW FORMS of church across Canada. I had the privilege of being interviewed by them on Thursday afternoon, and also had a great time hosting them on Wednesday evening and overnight.
I realized I'm not so hot in interviews, I get a little somber and low toned. Thankfully it was camera stuff that can be edited and chopped up, b/c it was pretty stop and go. They said they take an hour of stuff and reduce to about 5 min. We'll see how much gets into the documentary, but regardless it was a fun experience.
They interviewed for the Gathering Cafe, not Westside, though both stories cross paths. Westside is a more of a hybrid of emerging and contemporary, though I really don't care for the labels - I just hope to be an authentic Christian community that's increasingly God's living and local presence in our city (read more about that here)
They opted for the Cafe b/c it's an expression of Christian Community that's not necessarily a church - they interviewed lots of churches across Canada. Talking about the Cafe in this format helped me rethink what we're about and why we exist. These days we're starting a process behind the scenes - Fueling the Future. I hope that the process charts a revised course, as well as brings more people into the leadership and support of the cafe. We just got started, and it looks promising. (BTW, the cafe is on tonight)
When the project is done, I'll link to it so you can see what it's about.
Thanks Joe, Nathan, and Jared. I had a good time with you guys.
