DISQUS

the Jesus Manifesto: To Build or not to Build

  • Maria · 1 year ago
    My church is currently in the process of buying a building (we rent right now), and everyone seems to think it's a great idea. When my friend and I raised some questions about it- such as mission, gentrification, and use of church resources, we got looked at like we were crazy, and then ignored, and then seen as divisive. It's been hard because the vote went through, the new building will be purchased, and the church is becoming more and more of an institution and less and less of a movement. I mourn for it sometimes. I know you wrote this post forever ago, but thanks for it.
