Greetings Friends in Christ!

Summer is winding down and we’re coming into our exciting season of considering a strategy for the future of church. This week we’ll consider how the church and Christianity has come to be part of the wider trend of the dissolution of community as they’re being replaced by business, technology, non-local identities, and a simulation of relationships online. Fighting against the major trends of history doesn’t happen by individual moral effort, but decided cooperative, reconciling work in developing legitimate alternatives. We see small tastes of this in places like Camp Ghormley. How do we move the church from value-add optional extra to the body of Christ as a primary community? This is the big question facing Christianity in our time, and we’re going to discuss it and take action on it.
