Changing Church
I listened to this podcast on the way home from our last Change Agents meeting and thought of you, Bert - looking at how to do a new form of church. It's only about 18 minutes long but gives some valuable input on how to adapt church to meet our own contexts. The interview is with Kester Brewin about his book "The Complex Christ" which looks at self-organising systems and how that model can help look at organising church communities. I have a copy of the book so if anyone wants to borrow it, let me know.

He also mentions an example where things need to be fit for their own environments, like a tiger isn't suited to Africa nor a lion to the jungles of India, even though they're both cats. This applies to us locally in SA - so that we can be freed from thinking, "Well, we *have* to do it this way because *this* is what Christianity is," and allows us to have some fun with our localised expressions.
