I think that the settlers are the most foundational part of the kingdom. Without them, nothing would get built. Because, (to quote Graham Cooke) "pioneers are flipping useless at building ANYTHING!" When I said that I think the movement into house churches, coffee shops and bars is a necessary one, I mean that it is something that is needing to happen in the kingdom; not that everyone ought to be doing it. Loving, serving and demonstrating kingdom life are crucial to the body of Christ, and are always going to be needed in any community. But I still think that those people will experience departure from loved ones in the kingdom. Which is mainly what I am talking about here. Do you disagree? Bunny,

What part do we play if we stay? In all the "post modern rhetoric" what about the settlers? What contribution do we make if we aren't in the bars, coffee shops or house churches? What if we aren't students? What if we don't surf? Going is great and necessary for some, but for others stability and maturity mean faithfulness in loving, serving, and demonstrating Kingdom life in the most ordinary, invisable places.....selah So what about those of us who aren’t called away?
