Can a “church leader” be churchless? My friends and I were discussing this article, one that received some attention in certain segments of Twitter, and I was sort of startled at how divisive it was. I think the author is describing a process that many people go through as they church shop. They are Christians, they have ideas about how to express their faith, and they often find a church to be stifling at best or oppressive at worst in accommodating their well-formed faith. I am moved to have compassion on people who have faith but can’t find a community and thus express their faith individually. That’s a really hard thing to go through. I am sympathetic, to be honest, and I tweeted as much.
