Irrelevant
By Jeremy | October 13, 2005
“Relevant churches are rarely even closely relevant. Most Christians don’t even like them. They might be better than Mom and Dad’s morning service, but they usually are quite irrelevant to the outsider. The church person cannot ‘guess’ what the seeker wants, undoubtedly getting it wrong. What Christians need to do is create meaningful worship through bringing their very own lives to God. Worship must reflect the culture of the community that is currently part of the church, not replicate current worship CDs, nor 1980s soft rock, nor 18th century hymns.†- Full article. From the co-author of Emerging Churches: Creating Community in Post-Modern Cultures (which includes a profile of Kenny Mitchell’s Tribe Church, and happens to be on my Amazon Wish List).
