Nope, this entry isn’t about gardening - unless we’re talking metaphorically.
Linda, Martin & I attended a “Greenhouse” this past weekend. A Greenhouse is a conference/seminar where the concept of organic church is presented, discussed, debated and learned.
It is really a form of simple church or house church. The difference or at least the emphasis is on multiplication - from day one!
In many ways, organic church is so simple and transferrable and applicable cross-culturally that I’m surprised that the Christian community hasn’t adopted this “form” many, many years ago.
The purpose of organic church is for the church to be and do what it was called to be & do and not get weighed down with the trappings of some traditional church models (buildings, staff, programming, etc.).
Frankly, I think it’s high time that we move this direction and I look forward to seeing more from this and doing more with this.
