Comments for Seattle Metro Church http://www.seattlemetrochurch.com a new Seattle church Wed, 09 Jul 2008 05:13:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 Comment on Update by Jeff http://www.seattlemetrochurch.com/update#comment-2047 Jeff Thu, 29 Nov 2007 01:13:04 +0000 http://www.seattlemetrochurch.com/update#comment-2047 I found this site through the kairos church planting site. I applaud your courage in continuing to be adaptable to the needs of your community. The needs of simplicity and sustainability are very important. You guys are thinking about new ways of community and church far more than I am, but I will suggest this series that has been helpful to me as I resonate with similar struggles. The series of books is James Wm. McClendon's 3-volume systematic theology. It is not really a systematic work, but it is much more of a narrative work that begins with communal ethics. Anyway he has a section in his 2nd volume describing his ideal church, which comes from an Ana-Baptist heritage/view-point, called Koinonia Church. I am not suggesting that you read the whole series, unless you have too much spare time like I apparently do. However, I would think that SPU would have it in their library and maybe the Koinonia section would be helpful for you, as it has been for me. I will be interested to hear how the next few months go as your community shares its Sunday's with other communities of faith. Blessings, I found this site through the kairos church planting site.
