Church of Fools

I haven't visited this church in a long time, but felt compelled to go back today. Some of it had to do with reading articles on Church 2.0 and just random fleeting and scattered thoughts about the emerging/emergent church/movement. I actually really like the architecture of that place, and would like to have attended one of their Sunday services while they were still operational. Technology is a weird thing, and I wonder how it's possible to really do community without the face-to-face. I certainly don't want to say that it can't happen, but something about the environment seems almost too mediated (and perhaps too transient?) for it to foster community, to help shape worship and to stimulate and develop a prophetic imagination that has real impacts upon the (e)world we find ourselves in. Thankful for school, for good beer and good conversation. Thankful for a loving community and chances to step out of my comfort zone. Thankful for prayer and for silence. Thankful for today.
