This biblical metaphor is still one of the best. I do believe in the vertebrae of elders, deacons, the priesthood with an Eph 4 partnership. How the community lives our their God life and obedience is shaped around that, creatively and individually - when & how they pray, how & where they missionally engage their city... the beauty is in their obedience<br />Hope that adds to the conversation<br />Chrisjust thinkinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843597344312436968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216067962317835098.post-74476568518219073302011-02-05T02:45:43.853-08:002011-02-05T02:45:43.853-08:00Hi Chris, thanks for the input - I appreciate it!
...Hi Chris, thanks for the input - I appreciate it!<br />Does the above statement "There is no one pattern" signal a fundamental departure from your earlier conviction that the local church needs to have a foundation of the biblical pattern? <br />Or is the apostolic / prophetic pattern your personal conviction of how you think a local church should be established and you are just recognizing the validity of other patterns?<br />Or have I missed the point?<br />Greetings, MarkClarkXPlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07950526216631915808noreply@blogger.com
