Thanks for linking to this post. As you kn...Chris,<br /><br />Thanks for linking to this post. As you know, language is so important in these conversations. The use of the word, "Parish" hooks us back into the Roman (Empire) DNA of the word. It invites some anachronistic references to the "Gathered" and all so easily sucks us back into the age old concerns about attracting new members for the sake of preserving the institution.<br /><br />What if we move to greater intentionality about the words we use to speak of communities of faith?<br /><br />Thanks again for posting this!<br /><br />TomReverend Thomas Bracketthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01614580553238949874noreply@blogger.com
