This video was posted by Jared Wright in one of the comments on the Spectrum Blog. I think it is worth sharing. The whole article by Ryan Bell is worth reading through. I would love to do something innovative like that in my congregations one day. His concluding paragraph is particularly worth sharing:
We cannot set out to “create community” as so many church planters and well-meaning pastors aim to do. Community is not something that can be addressed directly. Rather, community forms when a group of people discovers that their journey to God is bound up with the others that God has placed in their lives. We don’t so much create community so much as we create the conditions where community can take root and grow. This kind of community is costly in every way.
