What does authentic Christian community look like?

This morning I read a short blog post on Common Grounds entitled, “What does authentic Christian community look like?”

In it, Meghan Gouldin asks us to finish the sentence: “Authentic Christian community____________________.”

It’s what each of us living in community grapples with daily.  At least I hope we do.

Interesting Reflection

Being the Church, Blogs, Sexuality No Comments »

Last night before going to bed, I read a wonderful reflection by Lissa on her personal experiences with homosexuality and the Church. It was a wonderful reflection of her thoughts. Take a look at http://melisseus.vox.com/library/post/good-christians-dont-do-that-except-that-really-they-do.html

Most of you know that I don’t like “specialized” services (i.e. worship for 20-somethings), but what happens when the Church completely rejects a people?

[Note: I am completely avoiding the issue of homosexuality and the church for now.]
