If This Is Not A Place. . .
If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
That is quite an article: I am fascinated by the Post-Modern concept of church. I believe that in many ways it is the way we need to go in order to reach a new culture.
ReplyDeleteTV and Computers have changed todays society hugely. People think and process ideas differently. I especially like the idea of blending the traditional with the new: Videos with liturgy etc.
It is a whole new area for us to use our imaginations. It is up to us to find new ways for the church to become missional without abandoning the old. As we do the things that God wants us to do, we will become the church that God wants us to be. Steve
