imagining how the church can reorient around mission

Riverside church
 

"The local church in much of Europe is like a crippled man.  We must not turn in disgust and abandon this hurting man.  We also must not criticize him for how he got himself in this position, or walk around him to get our task done.  We must come alongside him and help him to walk straight and powerfully.  Indeed, this man could bring great hope to his people if first healed and directed onward!"

  1. Thanks Eric – Good to hear from you Bjorn. How are you? BTW – Robert is an acquaintance of mine. He is a Scot in Rotterdam. Very thoughtful guy. I got the quote from an essay he wrote for Lausanne entitled, Dogma Meet Diversity in Europe. The funny thing is, the guy looks like he could be Robin Williams brother.
