Messy community

Dave at The Grace Pages talks about churches trying to offer something for everybody by segregating them ("ghettoization" he calls it). I found his comments a welcome antidote to the solutions presented by Episcopal Church "experts" on growing churches (which I might address sometime, if I can raise the stamina to do so) to my former parish. (Former parish's mission was pretty near "Grow or die.")

I wish someone would come up with the tack of "growing churches" by actually living the gospel message into the lives of the people in that community and beyond. What a concept. (Don't get me started on "church growth"...)
