Friends - I've been mulling recently about what I consider to be the "unfinished business" of the Reformation as we are in the midst of the 500th anniversary of all that getting going. To me, the unfinished business is the empowerment of the "laity," which is the churchy word for "everyone who's not a clergyperson."
Luther himself proposed a bold move for that, but never launched it, and I've
written about that on this blog before. That may be the most important post on this blog, come to think of it.
In the mean time, I want to lift up for you the work of
Richard Jacbson who's written a really engaging book called "
Unchurching: Christianity without Churchianity." There's a
Facebook group and
podcast around that now, and the latest incarnation is a comic book version that the focus of a
Kickstarter campaign featured below.
I encourage you to take a look, and consider supporting this work! I for one believe it is past time for us to be asking better questions and launching bolder experiments in how we follow Jesus and bless the world. I salute Richard for being a part of that work.
