Johnny Laird shared a great article today on the practice of Christian meditation.
A few things stood out but this thought in particular:
“…the Christian ideal of ‘Church’ is not the empty, justifiably fading social institution he’d thought, but an ongoing — albeit often tragically wayward — attempt to build a counter-cultural community.”
It takes me back to Rodney Clapp’s “Peculiar People” and Brian McClaren’s “Everything Must Change” among others – a group of people refusing to bow to the emperors of the day who offer a true alternative that really is life giving.
