My dream for Veritas

As some of the Veritas Team know I happen to love books. I do alot of reading and lately one of my favorite and most challenging books is entitled "The Shaping of Things to Come: Innovation and Mission for the 21st Century Church" by Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch. This book continues to comfort, challenge, convict, and push me in areas of theology, church, community, and mission. One of the quotes resonates with my hopes and dreams for Veritas. "The missional church is incarnational, not attractional, in its ecclesiology. By incarnational we mean it does not create sanctified spaces into which unbelievers must come to encounter the gospel. Rather, the missional church disassembles itself and seeps into the cracks and crevices of a society in order to be Christ to those who don't yet know him." As Christ followers in the 21st century, let's work on being a blessing (Genesis 12:1-3) to all people. Let's seep into the cracks and crevices of our society to make a difference in the world. Any one have ideas on how we can do this and continue to do this... especially for someone like me (a Pastor) who spends probably way to much time in the confines of the "Christian" world? Would love your input.

Ryan
