The regular Abductive Columns emails by Fred Peatross are always a thoughtful read. Today’s column, Organic Community (you need to log in at InJesus to read it so I can’t provide a direct link) is one of his best. Just take this final paragraph:
Metaphors are powerful. Think of the church as a building, and it becomes building-centric and architecture dependent. Think of the church as an organization, and it becomes preoccupied with programs/ministries. Think of the church organically, and it focuses on what makes for healthy life.
