A call to inaction

This blog combines an interesting Concept with some ardent and laudable ideas.

However, I'd like to propose that much of what is happening here is a reification of relationship, and I think I mean that pejoratively. What I mean to say is that much of what is proposed here is in the mould of "let's do relationship better, let's change our focus in the church to relationship[ping]." But relationship, especially in the way it is being discussed here, is an abstract concept, especially if we extend it to apply to relationship in terms of an infinite absolute (one with the god).

Ergo, I'd like to propose that the revolution not be one of action, but of being. That is to say, the revolution will be an internal one, specifically, that we pursue a rich, enthralling, and happy life. Indeed, the one we call Christ died to give us such an abundant life, and I believe he did so primarily because he love(d/s) us. What better witness could there be than happiness?

In many ways, the ideas already proposed are internal, so we're all ready on a good path. However, the focus seems to be on action, rather than transformation. Perhaps our focus should be divesting all that robs us of rich and full life.

And for me, that would start with church.
