Transforming Church

Leaving Church

“What if people were invited to come tell what they already know of God instead of to learn what they are supposed to believe? What if they were blessed for what they were doing in the world instead of chastised for not doing more at church? What if church felt more like a way station than a destination? What if the church’s job was to move people out the door instead of trying to keep them in, by convincing them that God needed them more in the world than in church?”

Barbara Taylor Brown—Leaving Church
