I like Luther's quote- something we need to kep in mind that we are not building our own little kingdom- ekkelsia or otherwise. I was reading this paper by Rodney Mckean, "The State of Christian education" Christian Education Journal, Winter 1988, Vol. VIII, No 2, 25-32. He maintain that the educatian we do in our churches are neither Christian or is it educaion. What is interesting is the way he describe Christians. In the Middle Eastern culture, names are important like Simon ben Jonah. Names indicate ancestry and character of the person. So, Christ-ians are translated as "sons of Christ". Meaning they are descended from Christ and bears the character of Christ. Bears remembering in this Reformation period. shalom Hi sivin,
