Let me be radical for a moment and say that we ought to abandon our church buildings! Let’s throw off the yolk of four walls, and gas bills, and carpet cleaning to suggest that our buildings have become more a burden than a blessing. Imagine it. Now, that you’ve imagined worship without your precious churches and pews, or folding chairs and projectors, let me offer my humble solution. Let us partner.
In
Acts 4:32 we see that the early church had no private possession and held everything in common. In sharing worshipping space, we make a move toward that sharing. We move away from “My church, my building” to “our churches, our building.” It is a system which honors the integrity and needs of individual worshipping communities, while also acknowledging that we are called to a common life together.
