Reality check up?
Those of us who blog/write/work/imagine about church & ministry can sometimes be guilty of being idealistic and fantastic (in the realm of fantasy).
The reality of dealing with people, making things like community or team or partnership work is less straight forward. Church can be a pain- no matter how emerging/purpose driven or whatever.
This isn't meant to be a moan or a rant.
Just a recognition that on the ground becoming Christ-like sometimes happens through the stuff that's uncomfortable - like when people annoy you, or fail to value your input or nick your ideas. When you have to let things be done another way even when you know your way is better!
