Considering identity and function of the church

Posted by on Apr 28, 2010 in definition | Comments Off on Considering identity and function of the church

I’m enjoying the discussion on my post “Church in a coffee shop.” We’re discussion identity and function as it relates to the church. We’re also talking about intentionality.

Sometimes its difficult to separate these issues. Can we separate the identity (being) of the church from the function (doing) of the church? Would a group of people need to intentionally recognize themselves as the church in order to be a church?

If you’re interested in these questions, jump over to my post “Church in a coffee shop” and join in the discussion.
