We are taking a long hard look at church as it is usually done today and we don't like it. Indeed we fear if it will be able to be a faithful wine skin for the Good Stuff that the world desperately needs. Some of us have been burnt by the institutional church and we are very angry. Still, at some point we need to move from stating what we are not about to what we are about. In fact we need to do that if we are going to have meaningful conversations with friend and foe alike.
