My thoughts on the first class session...

The topics touched on in the first class energized my thinking about church and mission because they gave words to unspoken thoughts and experiences I have had within the church. Dr. Bolger made several points that stood out and grabbed me emotionally:

-The American church should have never thought 'church here and mission there'

-The barrier to the gospel is social not theological

-The gospel can find its way in any culture

-No one should have to change cultures to follow Jesus

-Do church according to your specific community, don't buy the model

I can't wait to explore these issues!
