Church structure

Posted in Uncategorized on 19.04.10 by Merlyn

I read an interesting quote today about church structure. I found myself shouting Amen! It is very true, and its a good summary of a painful reality. The world has changed the church, the church has not changed the world. We have become too corporate, too democratic, too constitutional. What if we ran our meetings like Jesus ran his conversations with the disciples? What if we drew straws instead of voting? What if we became responsible and efficient without all of the corporate practices that are of this world and not of the Kingdom dream that Jesus brought? How can we do church structure better for sake of the church, the world, the mission, and the Kingdom of God?
