It disturbs me a little because the perspective (as I found out yesterday) is not to bring church to the community, but to bring the community to the church. This is a strong message because the former could spark churches splitting off or starting in the outer suburbs as a result of these groups.
Again, it doesn't matter if the city is reached, it only matters that we reach the city.
But then again, sometimes I am too cynical for my own good. |
I see what you are saying. At least they are trying something outside the box!
