Christianity as a People Movement
Sunday, May 4th, 2008
I was browsing around the world wide web today and ran across a podcast of a presentation I did at the Emerging Church for the Existing Church conference over at the Praxis Podcast.
In describing the presentation they posted a pull-quote from my talk. I remember saying this in the fly and thinking at the time - man, I liked that.
Then someone asked me to repeat it and I tried, so I am not sure if this is from the repeat or the first time, but I like it none the less.
Not only do I like it I think in some ways it represents a great opportunity and challenge for Christianity in our day.
“I think that Christianity is fundamentally a people movement that we should understand in social networking theory, not a belief system that we distribute through institutional applications and franchising models.”
So, now it is official - I actually quoted myself on my own blog - cripes.
