Surely the question comes over making the local church relevant - I think being accessible to a particular culture is part of this. Didn't Peterson do this with The Message - make scripture more accessible to a particular culture - it wasn't about changing the content of the message. The other reason we probably talk about this alot is how we organise what "church looks like" is probably easier to discuss and deal with (and blame), than actually addressing the bigger challenge of being a genuinely God-centred, loving, accepting, gracious, spirit filled community of believers who want the rest of the world affected by this. In my experience when the Kingdom of God is manifested in relationships or through miracles people take notice - culturally relevant or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
