01/29/2003 Entry: "Doing things differently"

There's some interesting thoughts on some different styles of gathering as Church over at the Living Room. It is thinking which I really need to take on board and develop for this context. I've been at a lecture tonight on the history of Methodism in Wales, and one of the impressive things about that story is the way that the Methodists (and other Free Churches) responded to a very rapidly changing situation as the Industrial Revolution took hold, how they provided communities for the thousands made rootless by the move from rural areas to the expanding cities.We face a similar challenge today. This is a fractured and rootless generation. I have a feeling that Darren might be on to something. Wander over and see what you think.
