Future Church

I'm on the e-list for Thomas Hohstadt's Future Church. His articles always get me thinking. Today's asks the question of whether we will even call it "church" in the future. Of all of the folk I read in the emerging church, he is perhaps the most radical and evisions the most radical changes. Indeed, he calls it a metamorphosis. "So it's no surprise that a new "Body of Christ" quickly emerges in this epic moment. Yet, this "Body" is not an organization, it's an organism. It's not an institution, it's a living system. It's not a structure, it's a spontaneous response to the hastening of history." It is about people and mission. Sounds good to me.
