Here is a post I found in doing one of my periodic searches on things re: Church of the Saviour. There have been several conversations coming out of the “Emergent” oriented blogs that have wrestled some with the structures and “formative strategies” of the COS communities, to which I have directed my attention today on earlier posts this morning.
New expressions of church / church plants however have a wonderful opportunity to really grapple with Crosby’s statement and to start with a blank piece of paper in their specific context. There seems to me an increasingly important need for us not to uncritically perpetuate existing ways of being church, its values (whether acknowledged or not) and many of its practices.
