i, church

By Brett “Fish” Anderson

"It was the best of church, it was the worst of church..." not Charles Dickens]

In some ways, the church has a horrendous track record and is deserving of much of the hate, accusation and mistrust it has received. But, in many other ways, the church has also been monumental in affecting great systemic change, being first on the scene in crisis and on the forefront of reaching out to and loving well those considered the least of these.

To those of you who believe church is the worst thing ever: You're right

To those of you who believe church is the best thing ever: You're right

The church was God's idea and it is the plan He has chosen to bring transformation to a world desperately in need of a deeper experience of His love. He doesn't appear to have a plan B. We are it

i call this book, 'i, church' because more than a building or a meeting or a list of do's and don'ts, the church is about the people. It is about me. And it is about you. If you love Jesus and have chosen to follow Him, then you are the church. Let's figure out together how to be the best church we can be.

"Brett Anderson weaves a picture of the church that is stark and real. He sees through church politics and denominational blinkers and defines the core of what the church is and isn't and what God desires it to be." Bruce Collins, legend and appreciator of good coffee]
