This list is to “the bare essentials” what Wellington’s-army-on-campaign is to a camping trip, but I suppose we all have a different idea of which things are “essential.” *Note: The carpet underneath is not merely decorative as the idea is that all these bits would be rolled up in it and carried out the front door in one go.

Interesting article here on the concept of Church 2.0 // BOOM!
Well, think about your church. Is it 1.0 or 2.0? A 1.o Church would look something like a few people up the front ‘doing things to’ the people in the seats. Broadcasting pre-written material to people, while they sit and watch. Or standing up the front with a guitar and pre-chosen set list, singing them with your eyes clamped shut and no knowledge of how the room are responding. This, from the many people I’ve chatted with, is how their average Sunday looks. We need a change!!
