Lately I’ve been chewing over how regularly some folk find it important (important to them that is) to tell me what the church isn’t, or from their perspective “what it ought-to-be as belief and behaviour”...
For me (and I suspect Jesus too) the best enjoyment of what the church is, is community ... of course I could be wrong, but don’t assume I am ... think about it this way ...
As community the church is no mere repository of correct doctrines or exemplar of divinely desired human behaviours; it is a family of incarnation, interaction and fallibility ...
Why not try describing the church by its “isness” ... not its aint’ness

Nice thought John. Being reading through Ephesians and looking at what the church 'is'. Have to chat about it sometime.
Let's do that soon ... JD
