'Who's the who?'
I'm observing that one of the great questions to be answered in this world of church planting is, 'who's the who?' (insert your own Dr. Seuss joke here _________________.)Meaning, who are the people that you feel like God is calling you toward...? Do you define them by age, race, economics, or any other demographic...?
Two people this week have forwarded me the link to an article that I think attempts to address this 'who's the who?' question...(thanks Nicole, thanks James)
It is from a recent issue of Knoxville's Metro Pulse newspaper...here's the link: Considering the diversity within Knoxville Christian communities
Who's the who, (when you push past all the demographic studies, church growth theories, and lengthy discussions of postmodernity) are those who simply need to find their way back to God...don't you think?
