I dont think God likes boxes. Nate, my favorite thing about the church is its diversity. Although there are certain styles that i personally may not connect w/at first, Ive learned to Never put God in a box. I dont think He likes them and so i probably shouldnt either. Whether its Argentines jumping up and down as if they are at a world cup match, Joel Osteen, emergents doing a contemplative object lesson, a robed grey headed Lutheran choir, or Hillsong in Australia, the church is us...the bride. And just like most women i know, they like to have a lot of dresses (and shoes too!). So, whoever we are...whatever we are...wherever we are...and however we like to do it...we are the church.
