It was fun and now I look forward to your next synchro topic!<BR/><BR/>I hate to admit it, but the people I find the hardest to love are the people who insist that CAWKI (Church as we know it) isn't terribly broken.Erinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01067954787472463337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16714549.post-78579898084228012892007-07-31T11:56:00.000-07:002007-07-31T11:56:00.000-07:00Donna - Aww you're so sweet.

A beautiful piece!<BR/><BR/>I especially liked: <BR/><BR/>"I learned from the church that God is confused - like an old woman wandering into a room and then forgetting what her mission was, or like an adolescent changing with the hormonal tides."<BR/><BR/>No wonder people write off church!<BR/><BR/>"Still, I cannot be mute to what I see, simply to make peace." <BR/><BR/>Actually, I think you have been inside my head. Since church is so important (not in the institutional sense, but as God’s mission to display the gospel to the world) it should be criticized. I can’t imagine one having nothing to say but pleasantries as they watch someone they love get off track.<BR/><BR/>"We've ripped God's heart out and created a god-machine designed to do our bidding."<BR/><BR/>We sure got God organized so that we could pretend to understand him and feel good about ourselves now that we know who is “in” and who is “out.”<BR/><BR/>"This means not only loving people who we hope will one day come to Christ, not only loving people with the misguided ideal that we will change them, not only loving people with the belief that God will one day change them. Loving them as they are. Right.Now."<BR/><BR/>I wish that weren’t so bankity-blank hard for me! There is a wonderful freedom and joy in it.<BR/><BR/>Erin, thank you!
