What is your discipleship?
Welcome, Worship, Study, Serve plus Witness and Stewardship
A Model for the Christian life both individual and communal.
Over the last decade I have struggled with how to teach a model of the Christian life that is useful both for catechesis and for community life. I have struggled too with a national church church that simply seems to be more interested in being a cultural lobby than being a support for the disciples on the ground of faith. We produce far better statements on social issues than on theologically meaningful materials for our parishioners.
And yes, I mean parishioners. We serve a parish, but we are a congregation. We say almost nothing to the world outside our doors as a church institution, but maybe in an age of personality it is a better witness to be silent and let our character speak for itself. My fear is that we are ashamed of our character and fear who may speak for our personality. How is our character shaped as a people of God? How do we become people of God, and how do we become a people of God?
