Brian McLaren: Churches As ‘Unterror Cells’

LeadershipJournal.net – Unterror Cells

One Dominican Republic pastor in the article says this:

“I used to be the pastor of a church that was isolated from and even
afraid of the community. Now I am a pastor for the community, supported
by the church.”

McLaren says:

Now I can’t stop thinking of faith communities as “unterror cells.”
While terror cells plot violence to spread fear, faith cells plot
goodness to spread hope. Both want change; both see status quo as
unacceptable. But terror networks believe change is pushed by fear and
violence; faith networks believe constructive change is pulled by hope
and love, service and friendship.
