I wonder if saturday evening services are more able to do this.<BR/>This definitely has to be a movement from the people rather than the leadership.Josh Dahmhttp://www.toomanydrummers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1544657559137027956.post-66762918169818481892009-04-02T14:47:00.000-05:002009-04-02T14:47:00.000-05:00I think one element to keep in mind is that of cho...I think one element to keep in mind is that of choice. What would happen if during a sporting event there was no tailgating space provided. The games were scheduled in a way that didn't allow for it, and the organizers were intent on keeping the sporting event central to everyone's experience to the exclusion of anything that might happen before or after that main event. The organizers decide to instead provide a structured time for being friendly with one another. They have a committee that organizes how many coolers will be needed, how much lemonade, how long it will last and where everyone will sit. All I'm saying is that there is something authentic and beautiful about community that happens because of a group's desire to spend time together as opposed to a leader's desire to have that group spend time together. The leader can crate shared language, time, space and reinforce a philosophy, but people need autonomy to build community.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292326079393776064noreply@blogger.com
