A question I often hear these days is, “Why should we go to church?” While this question might stir some uncomfortable feelings in pastors, ministers, denominational leaders, and others, it is actually an excellent question. In a post-Christendom era, the very concept of church is coming up against some well-deserved challenges. An institutionalized system of doing faith, filled with programs, rigid schedules, and an inflexibility of form, faces increasing disinterest from people. Where a focus on control and domination of the society around it no longer apply or have veracity, some have joyfully exited the church, enjoying a new found freedom from an institution more interested in maintaining status quo and propping up political powers than actually sharing the Gospel and focussing on the teachings of Jesus. Some have left in anger and bitterness, let down by a version of faith that devalued them while it sought to serve the very powers that oppressed the faithful church goer. I confess I can empathise with these people. I have a deep distrust of the vestiges of Christendom who continue to preach nationalism and devotion to the State instead of the true Christian message of the life and death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and his Kingdom.
