RE: The Holistic Church: An Idea Explored
As you know, I don't believe in God. But I do believe in community, the Earth, and holistic living, and I do believe that churches can be wonderful places to unite people under a shared goal... hopefully, love. I think I'd almost want to join a church if they did this kind of thing. I love your idea and I think the idea of man redeeming himself after being kicked out of Eden sounds like a great idea. Get thee to your pastor... let us know how it goes!!!
What if the church suddenly became a place of physical nourishment as well as a place of spiritual growth that it's supposed to be?
Yes, yes, yes and yes. A great post Nate..xx

We're probably a bit off from that. Haven't even become official members yet, but we're going to the next time they have a new members class.
I love that you mention you might wanna go to this kind of church. From an outreach perspective, this represents a huge opportunity to bring more people to church, and to Christ. The church as a whole has a bad name to non christians and I think that's partially because it's lost touch with the community in a holistic sense.

Exactly. And I have no problem with the church in this form! Look, I'm never going to believe, but I can believe in people and the capacity to unite and do good. If I'm ever in Texas....

On the note of people coming together, that's kinda what the church is supposed to be, ain't it? Here's a joint with ten grand a month in revenue (just guessing) from donations. If that money isn't going back into the community, where the hell is it? I'm not talking about building additions or paying for big ol salaries here, I'm talking about things that benefit the community, the whole! Not just the people paying into the ministry, but the people outside that might benefit from a cucumber patch or a peach tree.
I'm curious how many people in the community could be reached with a free garden fresh breakfast a few times a week ;) that would be cool to see.

I soooo want you to write this all up and pitch it to your pastor just like this. I'm sure once you settle in to your new church they'll go for it. X

I don't see how they wouldn't go for it, but I'm a bit biased lol
