I’ve been wondering about the nature of the gathering of believers we call “church” lately–and I could be wrong, but I think we have that confused with what Third Places are about. We want the church to be a Third Place, so we make it hip and cool and relevant but sometimes those elements detract from hunkering down to intimate, corporate worship and interaction. What do you think–am I off base?

I’m all for Third Places–and I think I’m hoping they help us retrieve our gathering of believers for what it’s supposed to be.

Don’t tell Pernell that I said this but I think the Freeway may be one of the healthiest church plants in Canada and while his model is different in that his context is the Salvation Army, what he has done is worth paying attention too.

It might not be Mecca but the Freeway is a wonderful community to learn from.
