Storying

Whew. My brain is mush, but I’m going to try to write a few thoughts right now to see if it will help me retain better.

The following is from a Church Planting seminar that I attended with Martin Jirku in Prague (Oct. 30-Nov 2) with Caesar Kalinowski, Todd Morr and many others.

Soma Communities are about 4 Identities and 6 rhythms. Those are:

IDENTITIES:
        1. Servant
        2. Learner
        3. Missionary
        4. Family

RHYTHMS:
        1. Story
        2. Listen
        3. Eat
        4. Celebrate
        5. Bless
        6. Recreate

Check out their web site - it’ll certainly make you think twice about how we “do church” and whether it’s really Biblically-based or not!

It’s an interesting approach to ministry - very fresh. I’m surprised how often I refer back to these identities and rhythms. For more information, check out their web sites: http://www.somacommunities.org
