Denominational Movements
September 23rd, 2008 · Posted in Practical Christianity, Practical Ministry, SPIRITUALITY ·One way you can tell that the Presbyterian Church (USA) (and other denominations also, for that matter) is a fractured group is by observing the number of “movements” that have sprung up in the past few years. The different movments seem to divide instead of unite us — so I am not sure they are a good thing.
I just read a post by Bruce Reyes-Chow — moderator of the Presbyterian Church (USA) General Assembly — that I wholeheartedly agree with. In it, he seems to be saying that the real movement we need in our denomination (Church, life, etc) is the movement of God’s Holy Spirit.
When we begin praying for God’s movement in our lives — our churches — our world — we will stop focusing on what we want — and start focusing on what God wants!
So — what do you think?
I’d love to have a discussion about this. Leave your comments and let’s share ideas.
