Thanks to Rick at Blind Beggar for flagging up a post from Chuck Warnock over at Confessions of A Small-Church Pastor highlighting six major shifts taking place in churches.
- The shift from observation to participation.
- The shift from religious education to spiritual formation.
- The shift from “what does it mean” to “what does it say to me” in Scripture reading.
- The shift from “hereafter” to the “here-and-now.”
- The shift from the individual to the community.
- The shift from belief to practice.
The ability to spot what’s really going on and to express it so clearly and succinctly is a rare gift – I encourage you to read Chuck’s post first hand.
