We, the mainline church, are the the watch dogs in this poignant blog by Erwin McManus. A must read. http://originsproject.org/?p=409
"What is happening across the world and here at home is that there is an army of cross cultural missionaries who have become the new leaders of the church. Their calling isn’t to pastor churches that focus on the happiness of its members, but to mobilize the church for the purpose of fulfilling God’s mission of reconciling the world to himself."
I love that bit from McManus about making little room for traditions that mean the world to us and little, if anything to those searching for God. Imagine that! What would church look like then if we sorted through all we do and then made a list of "For Us" and "For Those Searching For God". I'd have to go to Home Depot and buy me a really good sharp axe.
