Two quotes from Martin Robinson’s latest book ‘Invading Secular Space’
“What would it look like for a church to function in such a way that the primary goal of church life was not to attract more people into attendance and membership, but to produce people who had a profound sense of their personal relationship to God, their resource in Christ and could take that reality into the world with them” p.111.
“In this system the sacred represents a refuge from the secular, as compared to a resource with which to inhabit the secular.” P.111
I’ll be speaking about this on the weekend…
