Chasing Francis
“If someone insists on labeling me in the future, I’d like to be known as a ‘come-and-see’ Christian. if someone asks me what kind of church i belong to, i want to say, ‘a come-and-see church’. come and see how we love the poor, come and see how we give dignity back to those who’ve lost it or given it away, come and see how we encounter God through every spiritual practice at our disposal, come and see how we love one another in community, come and see how we stand for peace and justice, come and see how we’ve been freed from consumerism and have become radically generous, come and see our passion for beauty, come and see how we defend the earth, come and see how we preach the gospel at all times and when necessary use words. come and see- and perhaps after a while you’ll decide to join us in the story we’re living in.”
thats what it’s all about right there. thats a part of my vision for a church one day. let it be.
