Doing my periodic search on all things Church of the Saviour, I found this article:

NextReformation.com

He pointed to an article in a publication of The Vineyard called “Cutting Edge”, Fall 2001 (PDF here)

Pages 10-17 of that issue deal with the Church of the Saviour.

You talk a lot about the need to “detox from the culture.” What do you mean by that?
It’s a way of describing sin. Sin has very little meaning to the average modern mind, so I use the expression, “Detoxification from the culture” to describe what we really mean by sin—sin being the inability to transcend ourselves and to live for others. What the Bible really means by sin is that we are addicted to the values of the world, the systems of the world. Jesus said that if we stay with the world’s systems, the way the world views life, it leads to death. The realm of God which Jesus embodies and which he describes in the Beatitudes is the way that he says leads to life. We are so addicted to the culture that we don’t even know it. We don’t even know that we need detoxification. We don’t know that we need an intensive recovery program!
So if you were to counsel someone who came to you and said, “I want to de-tox; I want to enter into whatever it takes to begin to change,” what would you say?
First I would try to recover myself to keep from fainting! Almost never does that happen. But we have developed structures through the years. We have praxis classes on prayer, on Christian ethics, on servant leadership. Or, for example, we take wealthy people to Bosnia, to Haiti, and to India (with Mother Teresa before she died). We get them
into situations where they can begin to see how unjust, how un-Christlike our world is. We use the School of Christian Living to introduce people to the poor. In one of our early Ethics classes, I had a little group that met in the Potter’s House, and one night I said, “Now what we are going to do is to close this formal part of the meeting. I want you to go out into the neighborhood and talk to people, get to know them. Then come back, and we’ll talk about that.” One of our folks, Don McClanen, who founded Athletes in Action and who has worked with people of wealth
as much as anybody we’ve had, was introduced to life in the neighborhood that night. He went down and found a little church where there was a black woman who was a bishop and got to know her. He started spending one night a week in the neighborhood for a year. Then he started working with groups of disenfranchised African-American youths. That’s what we do; we use whatever structures we can to get people into those things
which are unfamiliar.
Sometimes in my class I’d say, “I want you to visit with one homeless person on the street this week., and write up an account of being with that person.” Some people have had their lives change just by hanging around with homeless persons instead of just passing them by. It’s a matter of getting to see life in a different way.

There’s a lot of talk around Church of the Saviour about the inward and the outward journey. Can you talk more about the inward journey in particular?

Our feeling is that each of us has developed a false self through the years. We have not become what
we were intended to become. We are not the embodiment of love which Jesus intended we should become. We have developed false patterns of happiness which develop out of this false self. We seek happiness in ways which do not deliver it. We are idol-worshippers. The inward life is going down like Jesus told us to do, and—rather than covering things up—letting the false self die, and let the true self emerge. The inner work is the work of letting the false self go and becoming what we are fully intended to be. We feel it can only emerge in Jesus because he’s the one who created our true selves.
We’ve repressed earlier experiences, we’ve been hurt and covered those hurts, we’ve been violated, we’ve
stopped our growing at certain points. When the true self begins to emerge, especially in the context of the small group, we begin to see things emerging that we couldn’t see before, as to what the outer work should be. We depend on Christ to help us with that outer work because we know we cannot do it ourselves. But all of us are seeing life differently because of the inner change. God has opened our eyes and let us see. Being able to see
clearly doesn’t come without the inner work.
