This is extremely helpful, David. Thanks so much for posting this on your “look back at 2009″ because I hadn’t seen this. LOVE # 5 and find it to be the absolute key to this discussion, and think if we could get this proper model of what Church is (and is not) through our heads it would revolutionize the Church in the West. I especially loved the “Tony Robbins” comment…

I wish there was a response to the question from Michael DeFazio. A local church does this kind of thing quite a lot. The only impact in the community is to shift some christians from another church to that church. They “seem” to be doing good things. But they have no more converts than anyone else.

This is excellent material, very useful in a conservative Anglican Diocese like Sydney, where the event of the year is “Connect 09″ We have a pile of 1360 copies of St Luke’s Gospel with doctrinal notes from the hierarchy.

Jay,
cool, so let’s expand here on this, what have you got against the word “pastor”? I actually like it better than “lead”(v.) or “leader,” of course shepherd is good but don’t think it connects on many levels, leader is too business modelish polluted … “priest”?… well we all got problems in some way in setting one priest over the priesthood of all …If you think we’re using it as priest … I don’t think so … ?
