We Are The Well

OK, everyone. The web address www.wearethewell.com has been proposed by Chris. I spoke with Micah and he and I really like it. We will probably buy .org and .net as well. Anybody have any concerns about it? We need to make a decision ASAP, so unless there are any major concerns, we'll go ahead and get it within the next day or two. Thanks!

Can I be a member of The Well?

I have a simple question with a potentially lengthy answer(s)...

Will The Well have church members? Will we require or offer up membership of our community?

January 7 Discussion Questions

Hey everyone! I'm going to put 3 questions below. The first one, we discussed briefly, but I'd like us to keep thinking about it and continue to contribute our thoughts to it. The others are ones we didn't get to.

1. If the church is really a missionary movement, and not a place go to, or an event to invite people to, then what are the ways in which people come to be a part of our church?

2. If there is no institution that caters to people's every need, then how do we, as a missionary movement, meet the genuine needs of those in our faith community? How does this redefine our concept of "ministries w/in the church"?

3. Jesus sought to do away with sacred / hierarchical leadership. In the Kingdom of God, we are all "priests" with different gifts and roles to play as the "body of Christ." This doesn't mean we neglect spiritual authority or accountability, but it does put the sharing of responsibility back on each individual within the community. Church elders (leaders) serve to equip the church (see Eph. 4:11-13). How does this affect our ideas about professional clergy / pastors?

Let's have some active dialogue about this on the blog throughout the week and attempt to find common ground on this at our worship gathering on Sunday morning. Agreed?
Happy blogging!

Everyone, please edit this post or comment on it. Many are taken, but some are not. I also know I didn't think of everything fitting for our Well.
