Interviews on “Simple Church”
This video represents a growing movement throughout the world: the "simple" or "organic" church. Many traditional church leaders—especially in the Western world—feel very threatened by this movement and try to paint these believers with a broad brush, describing them as the lunatic fringe of the church of Jesus Christ. What they don't realize, however, is that the simple or organic model of church is what their foreign missionaries do every single day around the world. Don't take my word for it. Ask your missionaries next time how they go about planting churches.
Only in America and other Western cultures do we frantically try to get as many people as possible into our massive buildings. We have embraced a "come and see" approach to Christianity, something which is the exact opposite to the "go and tell" commission Jesus gave the early disciples…and us!
There is a lot here that I’m compelled to agree with.
The Pommy bloke (Tony Fitzgerald) seems to get away with the best lines!
We are seeing increasing numbers of people moving into home churches in Australia also. This is in line with what God is doing across the world. Incidently, Tony Fitzgerald is Australian!
