More than a little creepy, eh? Or too close to home?
Given the ways in which many of us have been enculturated as congregations in a number of the practices recorded here-- including but not limited to: -- marketing on our cars -- locked doors -- unfriendly greeters -- data gathering (versus actual relating to folks) -- being ABOUT being the body of Christ, as opposed to just being his body -- and others...
What forms of embodiment visible here do we need to shed? Where can we being different practices that actually offer we as church actually ARE-- rather than market what we think will simply appeal to get others to join us in that same, sad to say it, scam.
