It is easy to forget who is not amongst us when we gather; and I want to remember that your generation is so very often missing. Help us learn from you; what do you and your peers need? Be as specific as you can in the ways that you understand the shifts the Church needs to make so that your generation stays or becomes connected to Jesus in community.Tamara Buchanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08343657459994091712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064145503404789470.post-58078914256139749992008-01-17T15:12:00.000-08:002008-01-17T15:12:00.000-08:00oh man, i cant even begin to understand what went ...oh man, i cant even begin to understand what went through their heads, he basicly went up said, "hi im the son of god and im going to free us from opression." garunteed half the people were saying what a nutter, the other half must have either been flored by the audacity of it or just straight up dumb founded.<BR/><BR/>this saturday i witnessed something i never thought i would see people defending a broken insitution, the first thing that Jesus said in his ministry was he came to preach the good news to the poor, proclaim freedom for the prisoners, and recovery of sight to the blind. our churches are filled with the rich,i only know a handfull of christians going to the jails and half the people in the church are spirtualy blind. so on saturday when i heard and saw people defending an institution that is not even coming close to doing the very begin things of Christs ministry i was dumbfounded. <BR/><BR/>i am young and my experiance has been that of growing up in the church, i have a special fondness of liturgy and clasiscal church, but i know my generation and they hate church. to them and a bit to me it is just rules and regulations laid down by a distant and dead God who cares little about what problems we have. i hope missio lux will be able to adress that. how can you reach an individual who veiws God as someone who ditched out on responsibility.Alexander Freeman Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192050860282204218noreply@blogger.com
