Together, we are part of a network of participatory fellowships we helped start - where the life of Christ is expressed in us, among us and then through us in all spheres of life to a waiting world. Our blogs come out of that community of believers.

Authentic, apostolic and Accountable. What a strong and powerful message. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. We/I am called to an authentic relationship with Christ.. and that means change.. in all that I am, all that I do. Painful, burning, joyous and most of all gentle.
Having been raised in an Evangelical church.. where the ‘bop theory of salvation’ was prevalent, it is no wonder that we ‘older’ Christians call out for an authentic dialoge, an authentic head, and an accountable body of Christ Jesus.
